On March 5th its time to celebrate your employees. They’ve been with you through one of the most challenging times - adapted their work habits, changed their work environments and balanced home & work life in an entirely new way. Then there are the ‘front-liners,’ those that persevered daily on the frontlines keeping your business moving forward. Celebrate everyone.

- USE DAILY TECHNOLOGY
Skip the line of unread emails and send your employees a thank you text or even a video. Have fun, use a GIF or music to add a bit of fun or emotion to the message. This simple act of appreciation will let them know they are valued, and that you're just a message away! - MAKE RECOGNITION A GIFT
Let your employees know how important their efforts have been with a personal gift. Transform your remote and on-site employees' workplace into a more comfortable environment with the choice of custom branded swag like a ceramic mug, a cozy throw for the cold days, or even a pair of funny socks. - SEND A NOTE
Nothing beats a handwritten card and some snail mail! Ask managers to write a short note of thanks and send to each of their employee's homes for those who are remote. For team members working on property, drop off a card to their workstation before they arrive. - BE SOCIAL
Use corporate social media platforms to share the organizations’ gratitude and thank all employees with a fun, creative post using pictures of employees throughout the organization. Send out a company-wide communication to build excitement and ask for others to participate in the celebration.
While it can be a challenge to celebrate your employees who are remote and/or in a socially distanced work environment, preparation is key. Put the wheels in motion and plan something that shows just how much you appreciate your employees.
