GiftCard Partners Blog

Everyone loves a gift card for the holidays--easy to give and even easier to receive. In fact, 76% of adults decided to purchase at least one gift card or eGift card for holiday shopping last year. A gift card is guaranteed to please everyone on your list, whether that be an employee, member, customer, or client. 

After working tirelessly through the pandemic, front-line workers and employees are tired and burned out. Front-line workers have risked their lives continuously by showing up for work. While corporate employees, many still working from home, have struggled to maintain their wellness in the isolation from others. Everyone can use a break to spend time with their families and have a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Reward employees for all of their hard work throughout the pandemic with Home Chef gift cards. Home Chef provides all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal for faster preparation of sides and main course dishes.  

The start of a new year gives employees a clean slate to refocus on their health, habits, and professional growth. Employers who support these efforts see measurable benefits: higher engagement, stronger retention, and healthier, more productive teams. According to Gallup, employees who feel supported in their wellbeing are 4.4 times more likely to be engaged at work and significantly less likely to experience burnout.

As we approach the holiday season, the traditional office party is no longer the primary way to celebrate and thank employees. Many companies are opting for more flexible, digital solutions to recognize employee contributions, particularly in the era of remote work and distributed teams. With budgets often tightened and in-office camaraderie difficult to replicate, digital rewards—especially eGift cards—are emerging as the go-to solution for end-of-year employee appreciation.

As holiday season shopping evolves, so does how companies recognize and reward their teams. While traditional holiday gift-cards still have value, opting for eGift cards via the Engage2Reward™ Gift Card Ordering Platform offers next-level simplicity, flexibility and impact.
