Spa a thought for your team and colleagues this Christmas

The thought that counts

In a conversation with a friend recently the conversation veered towards all things Christmas, notably office celebrations. She is in a team where group breakfasts, lunches and social occasions are a big part of the workplace.

The company often buys lunch, drinks and so forth. That's all very nice, except that many team members can't really enjoy what's on offer because it's invariably fast food (plenty of people with dietary needs), or oriented around alcohol (some people don't like it, some people don't partake for religious or health reasons).

When it came to rewarding the team over the festive season, the offering was much the same. Of course, it's the thought that counts, but wouldn't it be truly thoughtful if the experiences being offered were things that everyone could actually enjoy?

The benefits of gift giving

From a commercial perspective, looking after people is a no brainer. As a case in point, a study published on the National Institutes of Health corroborated what many other formal and informal studied have ascertained:

"If organisations have a good reward management system, the motivation of their employees will be high and the performance of their employees will amplify with greater magnitude."

Perhaps more than that, saying thank you and showing you recognise the hard work of those around you is just a really nice thing to do.

Spa gifts that are just for you

Our mantra at Spabreaks.com this season is 'spa a thought', and the emphasis for that is really on not simply giving for giving's sake, but giving with care and intent. When it comes to rewarding those who work for and alongside us, we want to give in a way that inspires, provides support, inspiration and in a way that can be tailored to the individual. That's not always easy, but it can be done with a spa experience.

Spabreaks.com gift vouchers can suit every occasion and every individual, providing personal autonomy over where and when they go, and what experience they have. Whether you want to give them a Christmas present, thank you and appreciation gifts, leaving gifts or something to boost health and wellbeing, whether they work in the office or you want to surprise remote workers by sending a gift card in the post, the beauty of a spa gift is that there's something for everyone.

Buy packages for a specific destination or monetary vouchers from just £10, giving the recipient the flexibility to choose from over 900 spa days, breaks and experiences at Spabreaks.com.
