Office
gifts are a great way for
managers to reward staff for a job well done. Reasonably priced items
will likely be seen as an appropriate gesture by everyone. There are
plenty of gifts for men that fit the bill, and below we have several
recommendations.
If you’re at the bottom of the corporate rung and buy something
expensive for a superior, expect your gift to be seen as an attempt to
curry favor. The backlash could be serious. In fact, expensive gifts
flowing in either direction put you in the danger zone unless they’re
backed by solid reasons that are clear to everyone.
Typical reasons for presenting office gifts include thanking or
motivating employees, recognizing long service, acknowledging
promotions, and celebrating birthdays or weddings.
It’s important to note that incentives for performance are in a
different category. Such incentives may vary depending on the person’s
position.
But be very careful about giving non-incentive gifts that could raise
questions of unfairness. In general, gifts to staff should stay within
a standard price range to avoid jealousy.
If the company logo is part of the gifts you present, it should be
discreet rather than dominant so it does not overshadow the item, the
occasion or the purpose of creating goodwill.
Engraving items such as
glassware, knives, games and key chains will
serve for a variety of occasions.
Consider also poster gift ideas to address a special interest. Most
office walls could benefit from a bit of art work.
Sports buffs are easy to buy for because they will typically appreciate
an item linked to their favorite college or pro team.
And don't forget travel accessories. Almost everyone can use them.
