Posted on February 14th, 2024 by gThankYou!

Spring in the workplace is full of fresh starts. It’s also a great time to make sure that your employee recognition program has a fresh set of eyes.

There isn’t just one recipe for success when it comes to employee recognition; there are many thoughtful ways to acknowledge employees’ dedication. Leaders who take the time and energy to show employee gratitude year-round end up with happier team members and a more enjoyable workplace. Each season provides multiple opportunities to recognize employees, partners, and other stakeholders. Below are some ways to celebrate spring in the workplace.

Celebrate Spring in the Workplace

Many people are gearing up for Easter, which comes early this year (March 31). While not everyone celebrates this holiday, it can easily be regarded as a “Spring into Spring” workplace celebration with chocolate, bunnies, family-style meals and egg-hunting – which everyone would welcome and enjoy.

If you have concerns about tackling Easter at work, take a look at our blog post about Time for Easter Employee Appreciation. It is chock full of ideas about how to make Easter and spring workplace celebrations entertaining and appropriate for everyone!

An easy way to get into the spirit is to add extra plants and flowers around the office, providing a fresh reminder that the warmer months are coming soon! If you live in a temperate climate where the end of winter isn’t what people are pining for, simply bring in some seasonal blooms.

Then, start thinking about a day in March when you can throw Easter and spring in the workplace festivities. Teambuilding.com has a great list of activities to consider like rubber duck races, a team brunch, and a Peep diorama contest. And, as always, dying eggs is easy and relaxing, allowing employees to chat while dipping.

If it’s spring in the workplace and you are pondering how to shower employees with a “Happy Spring” thank you, consider the gift of a holiday ham. For many, the gift of a ham for Easter is a valued and welcome gift. It evokes family and underscores the joy and warmth that comes from sharing a special meal together. gThankYou makes it easy to share the gift of ham – during springtime or whenever you want to share your workplace appreciation.

Thinking you’d rather go the sweet route? How about a Sweet Treats Gift Certificate? Since sugar makes the world go ‘round, this is always a fan favorite for employee appreciation gifts. There are many seasonal candy classics like jellybeans, chocolate bunnies, and Cadbury Eggs that recipients can buy with your spring gift!
