There is no denying that Covid-19 and the resultant lockdown has changed the way we work. With offices across the country forced into a whole new world of home working and the challenges that come with it—from the limitations of Zoom meetings and not seeing colleagues in person, to supporting staff from afar.
Whilst returning to the office full time is still a long way off for many, we've been working with businesses to combat home working fatigue amongst their workforce. Our corporate team have seen a new trend emerging in the last few months—companies looking for employee appreciation gift ideas. Businesses such as Deloitte, KPF and Docusign have all turned to Biscuiteers to create gifts to engage their employees.
Francesca Gazet, Biscuiteers’ Head of Corporate, said: “At Biscuiteers we create a bespoke branded experience for our clients, whether that be for their external gifting or internal pieces such as gifts for colleagues. We have been inundated with requests for our unique employee gifting solutions as businesses navigate this extended period of working from home and wish to engage with their staff in interesting ways.”
Award-winning regeneration company Urban Splash sent bespoke Biscuiteers hand-iced biscuits to every member of its 200+ workforce depicting its modular House by Urban Splash homes. The gifts were sent out to the team as a big thank you for their flexibility and support in recent months.
Gemma Gordon, Urban Splash’s People Director, said: “Our colleagues have been absolutely incredible during lockdown, responding to unprecedented change, but still working hard to help us bring Urban Splash neighbourhoods to life. We want to thank them as much as we can and the Biscuiteers collaboration was a nice way to do so. This is the first in a long line of things we have planned."
Customer marketing platform Ometria also asked Biscuiteers to create employee engagement gifts.
Charlotte Gower, Ometria’s People Operations Manager, said: “The happiness of our employees is incredibly important to us at Ometria. We appreciate that in these unprecedented times staying focused can be incredibly difficult. We wanted to recognise that with a gift and as a thank you to all our Ometrians, bringing us together when we were all getting used to working remotely and facing Zoom fatigue.”
“We chose Biscuiteers as they were able to create bespoke biscuits and we were absolutely thrilled with the results. We will definitely be working with them again for employee gifting.”
