Recognition and reward for the employee mean more than giving trophies and cash incentives. It means making appreciation unique and personal. Custom t-shirts provide employees with a new way of receiving recognition: not only rewarding themselves but also a tool for building a spirited team and having a great work culture.
Let me show you how custom t-shirts may make recognition much more exciting and personal for your employees.
1. Celebrate Employee Milestones with Style
Someone comes into the office today who has completed a large project, hit a significant work anniversary, or perhaps even reached an important goal. Time to celebrate! But the congratulatory email or generic gift card isn't enough; let's go for something more personal. Surprise them with a custom t-shirt commemorating the occasion, complete with the employee’s name and milestone, or even just the fun slogan marking the achievement!
A personalised t-shirt is a reward and a wearable reminder of achievement, making it more tangible.
Rapid Idea: Design a specific "Milestone Club" t-shirt line for employees reaching certain milestones or anniversaries. They would all be unique designs.
2. Team unity
One of the great philosophies in an office with a good atmosphere, and what better way to encourage this than with matching custom t-shirts? Branded clothing can help group your team on a corporate retreat or team-building day, or even on casual Fridays, foster a sense of belonging. It is straightforward to say, "We are all in this together." Matching t-shirts encourages bonding and makes a workplace not so rigid.
Pro Tip: Different teams could have their t-shirt variations to add a touch of friendly competition while still showcasing the company's brand.
3. Reward top Performers Creatively
For the top performers, some great recognition is due. Designing a creative custom t-shirt highlighting their efforts can personalise the gift and remind them of all that was invested. The design could be a funny quote referencing their job title or, better yet, a playful caricature. It means saying, "We do notice and appreciate everything you put in!
Creative Idea: Hold an "Employee of the Month" t-shirt program whereby, at the end of every month, the winner will be given a different, customised t-shirt bearing the print of his achievement.
4. Moments that Cannot be Forgotten
They could participate in exciting corporate events, such as holiday parties, workshop participation, or charitable runs while wearing customised, themed t-shirts, which would then be souvenirs from that kind of experience long after the event. Employees can even wear them outside of work; they would organically spread the brand through such activities.
Event Planning Tip: Sponsor a design contest for the event t-shirt, where employees become involved in this process in a fun and creative way. The more meaning attached to it makes the t-shirt.
Event Planning Tip:
A new hire delights in coming aboard with a personalised t-shirt and other items in the welcome kit. Branded with the logo of the company and the cheerful text "Proud to be [Company Name] 's Newest Team Member," this subtle action makes new members of the company feel more like part of the family from the very start.
6. Inspire the team to serve for a cause
If your company is participating in a charity event or raising funds for any cause, the customised tees are perfect to unite everyone for a good reason. Then you prove that your company cares about the cause and has a shared experience of the activity among them.
