The act of gifting is a gesture of respect and appreciation and has been a part of human culture for ages. The professional world is also not untouched by it. People in workplaces gift each other for personal or professional reasons; one of those is parting. It is a practice to bid ado to an employee with loads of gifts on retiring. But why should we restrict it to people who are retiring? Why not give everyone present who has contributed significantly to the organization during their tenure?

These days, employees switch jobs after three to five years, and most times, even before. But, they work hard during the period with dedication and contribution to the growth. Think for a second; do they deserve a parting gift? The answer would be yes! But, we present them with a few generic items without giving them much thought. It does not create the impression we hoped for and looks like we gave them something in a hurry. It ought to be pleasant; the experience counts more than the items. That is where custom gifts come into play.

 

 

You can give customized gifts to every employee, whether they worked for six years or six months. They can keep them until the end and feel nostalgic looking at them. The best thing: you do not have to break the bank. It has become affordable to create on a tiny budget with the demand for custom gifts. The blog will inform why custom items make the best parting gifts and how you can order. Let us start.

 

Personalization transforms a generic gift into a noteworthy and unique one. People have realized their value; they have become the preferred choice for most occasions, including leaving a company. They help sustain relationships, celebrate, and strengthen them.

• It shows the employee that you appreciate them: customized gifts display significantly more thought than generic ones. Not only did the organization pick the time, but they went the distance and customized them. Also, personalizing an item takes more thought than giving a generic gift. The employee accepting it feels valued and appreciated. They think that all the hard work has paid off. The recency effect - we remember the recent events - takes over.

We live in a fast pace world where people are more disposed towards comfort than exertion. Along these lines, bespoke gifts give the aura and trace of your time, effort, and mindfulness. Customized gifts also show how well you know your employees and what they will love and cherish.

• It creates meaningful connections and goodwill: Employees switch jobs faster nowadays, and custom gifts ensure we impact positively and maybe rebound. Building and maintaining relationships has become vital and challenging. Human resource practices have changed over the years. Previously, the act of leaving a company differed from now. Often, they cut ties. Now, the focus has turned to employee experience, and every company, whether small or corporate, values its past employees. Who knows, they may even rejoin the company in a senior position after gaining valuable experience in other organizations. The homecoming can only be possible when you part ways happily. Custom gifts make the experience memorable for the person.
• It feels good going down memory lane: people spent a significant part of their lives working and with their team. Most times, they spend more time with them than with their friends and family. We share laughs, have lunch together, etc., and create memories. One of the best things about customized gifts is that they assist people with nostalgia. Who does not love dipping into the nostalgic sea? Sometimes, people leave an organization because their needs have changed, and they miss the old company. Looking at the custom gifts from your company will make their day and might prompt a comeback.  
• Make your organization stand out: personal connections have taken a massive toll in a world where it is common for companies to treat their employees with indifference. Companies think they do not need to invest in a departing employee. However, brand image can take a hit. A leaving employee might leave negative comments on social media, job, and review sites among friends and family. It can roll out of control in a matter of days. By giving customized gifts, you are making the last moments positive for everyone. It also helps you to stand out in the sea of companies.
• They are suitable for everyone: Customizing employee gifts means not only adding their name to the item. Personalization can mean colors, materials, artwork, logos, etc. Everyone from junior to senior managers can cherish them. They highlight something significant; the time they spent with the company.  
• It allows us to leave on a positive note: Since the focus on employee engagement is high, a customized gift for every departing one is a tremendous bonus for reputation. For example, a person who has contributed a few years to the organization is of no less value than who has spent more. It is not the years of work but how effective and productive they have been. It goes a long way in showing how appreciative and caring the company is.
