The act of giving is dear to SWISS GIFT SELECTION SA, which is pursuing its mission of revisiting the gift experience, giving it back the place it deserves as a powerful vector of messages and values, particularly to celebrate special occasions or the various stakeholders within a company.

In three questions, Hervé Badan, director of SWISS GIFT SELECTION SA, explains that there are many occasions other than the end-of-year holidays to offer a gift to your colleagues or clients.

At what times of the year can companies think about thanking their employees or customers?

There are many opportunities. For employees, anniversaries, professional birthdays, and individual achievements offer excellent opportunities to express appreciation. For example, marking an employee's 5, 10, or 20 years of service, celebrating a promotion, or marking a professional achievement or exceptional contribution are all opportunities to thank and recognize your teams.

On the customer side, beyond traditional end-of-year gifts, companies can take advantage of events such as partnership anniversaries, milestones in the customer relationship, or shared successes to express their gratitude. For example, celebrating important milestones in the customer relationship, such as signing a major contract or achieving key objectives, strengthens mutual trust and encourages successful long-term collaboration.

In addition, since the year is punctuated by seasons, holidays and special days, attention can also be paid to International Women's Day, Easter, Labor Day or summer holidays, alongside the traditional end-of-year celebrations.

So the message conveyed by such attention goes well beyond the gesture of giving?

Showing appreciation to your employees is a powerful driver of motivation and loyalty. By regularly expressing gratitude, companies strengthen their employees' sense of belonging and foster a positive work environment. In the era of remote work, when teams are geographically dispersed, it becomes essential to cultivate an environment where everyone feels appreciated and valued. In this context, the gesture of thoughtful thanks takes on a special meaning. Unlike simple verbal thanks or emails, a tangible gift demonstrates an approach that has been thoughtfully prepared and planned for a specific occasion.
