The discreet power of the gift dedicated to employees
Recognizing, motivating, and retaining employees are daily challenges for human resources professionals. Long reserved for the holiday season, corporate gifts are now taking on a new dimension. A true strategic lever, they serve corporate culture and the employee experience. At Swiss Gift Selection SA, each gift box is designed to make this thoughtful gesture much more than just a gift. It aims to convey a message, create emotion, and leave a lasting mark on the relationship between the company and its teams.
The power of gesture
Giving a gift to an employee is a way to let them know they matter and that their work is recognized. It's a concrete and tangible form of recognition that complements everyday words and feedback . In a context where talent retention is a central issue, and where work dynamics are evolving, particularly with the widespread adoption of remote working, this type of attention becomes an HR asset in its own right. It embodies the company's values, strengthens human connections, and fosters a sense of belonging. The employee experience then becomes a lever for attractiveness. In a hybrid or remote environment, maintaining human connections becomes a key issue, and employee gifts foster this sense of closeness and belonging.
Recognition that is experienced all year round
Contrary to popular belief, the holiday season isn't the only time to give your employees a gift. Many key moments mark professional life and can be celebrated with personalized attention. For example, a jubilee, a service anniversary, a promotion, an individual or collective success, a retirement, a successful integration, and many others. These milestones are all opportunities to make a lasting impression and create positive memories. Calendar holidays such as Easter, Labor Day, or International Women's Day can also become moments of increased engagement and meaningfulness.
Much more than a gift: a memorable experience
Today, a gift is no longer just aesthetic or useful. It must tell a story, convey a message, and evoke emotion. This is why personalization is at the heart of Swiss Gift Selection SA's approach. We design tailor-made gift boxes that go far beyond the products themselves. Some include, for example, a music playlist to accompany a tasting of local products, a baking kit to make with the family, a handmade candle for a wellness break, and more. The goal is to offer a truly multi-sensory experience, reflecting the company's values and the person for whom the gift is intended. By 2024, 95% of gifts designed by Swiss Gift Selection were fully personalized. A figure that demonstrates the extent to which storytelling strengthens companies' employer brands.
A responsible and 100% Swiss approach
Swiss Gift Selection SA doesn't just offer original gifts. It does so with conviction. All selected products are made in Switzerland by more than 350 local artisans and producers, and the gift boxes are assembled in Swiss social institutions. This ethical and sustainable commitment is an integral part of the company's DNA. For HR departments, it's also a way to align their recognition initiatives with the CSR values upheld by their organization.
A partner serving corporate culture
Giving a gift isn't about checking a box. It's about helping to build a climate of trust, esteem, and recognition, and fostering a corporate culture in which everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. With its expertise, Swiss Gift Selection SA supports HR departments in this process by designing meaningful, touching, and memorable gift boxes. Because behind every thoughtful gesture, there's a smile, a memory, and a strengthened bond.
