From unboxing gifts at Christmas parties to spending quality time with families over festive dinners, there’s a ton to look forward to for the Christmas season. It is the perfect time for employees to rest and reset their minds before coming back to work.
As much as it is a highly anticipated holiday, it can also be a stressful time of the year for some employees in Singapore. With the year coming to an end, there are deadlines to be met and targets to be hit, Christmas is the best time to appreciate the hard work put in by your employees. From open communication to employee reward incentives, here’s what employees in Singapore want for Christmas.
Employee Appreciation
Employees want to feel appreciated and valued for their efforts. Show your employees that you appreciate their hard work and contribution to the company through words of encouragement. A sign of gratitude through a simple note of “thank you” towards the end of the year helps your employees to feel that their work is being recognised and it is also a genuine way of showcasing employee appreciation. Along with feeling appreciated, employees will feel more confident in the quality of work that they have been providing for the organisation.
Career Progression
Nobody wants to feel stuck in a dead-end job. Nearing the end of the year, most employees in Singapore would like to know how they are progressing at work, and the areas in which they can further develop. Sit down with your employees to set professional and personal growth milestones to achieve in the upcoming year. This not only shows that you care about your employees’ performance at the company but are invested in their personal development and growth. Setting professional goals and providing employees with opportunities to achieve them will make your employees feel needed. Setting realistic expectations for your employees will help them to return to the workplace after the Christmas break with motivation to achieve them.
Give the Gift of Communication
Most employees in Singapore, more than anything, just want to have a channel of open communication to avoid feeling stressed over misunderstanding tasks and are afraid that voicing their confusion may lead to an unpleasant situation. Give employees the chance to speak up about their workload, especially during a busy festive season like Christmas. Having an effective workplace communication channel can lead to more efficient completion of tasks where employees may speak up for assistance on urgent tasks and feel less burdened. In addition, communicating the company’s business goals clearly to employees before Christmas lessens the anxiety they may feel when coming back to work after the holiday season. Open communication also allows employees to speak honestly and connect with the company knowing that their opinions are valued and heard.
Employee Rewards & Recognition
Your employees want to be rewarded for their hard work. Apart from just thanking them at year-end performance reviews, you can show your employees that they are more than just a staff at the company by rewarding them with year-end corporate gifts. An employee appreciation gift or employee rewards & recognition program shows that you take care of your employees. Many organisations in Singapore practice rewarding employees with employee rewards & recognition incentives like the universal Giftano Gift Card. A fully customisable gift card that allows employees to redeem any gift on Giftano.com, this gift also comes with a free personalised greeting card to remind them that they are appreciated and valuable to the company.

Be Flexible with Your Employees
Show your employees that you care about them by giving them the gift of time during the holiday season. Either with extra hours off during the week leading up to Christmas or ending work early on Christmas Eve. It helps to give employees flexibility with time and space to breathe amidst hectic Christmas shopping or cooking. Your employees will also feel less burdened and burned out when they are well-rested. You will be amazed at how employees repay you for the time off after the Christmas season.
“Take care of your employees, and they’ll take care of your business.” — Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin Group
To ensure that your employees are not feeling overwhelmed, you can even give them premium restaurant dining experiences or creative workshops to ensure that they have their minds off work during their time off!
Aside from sending your employees company-branded mugs or umbrellas for Christmas, send them a practical and thoughtful Christmas gift that they will truly appreciate. Appreciating your employees with Christmas gifts this Christmas will not only make employees feel happy and excited to come to work but also feel a sense of belonging and connection to the company.
These Christmas gifts for employees can vary from personalised stationery to restaurant dining experiences and grocery vouchers or gift cards. It is the thought behind the gifts that count and will surely make employees feel that they are wanted and cared for. Apart from getting Christmas gifts for employees, you can also arrange an office Secret Santa team bonding event for coworkers to surprise one another!

Apart from Christmas dinners at the office or receiving company-branded merchandise as Christmas gifts, what employees in Singapore want for Christmas is for you to show that you care about your employees. Make it more personal, reward them and create a positive work environment and culture that makes employees feel excited to come back to the office after their long break.
