\"\"<\/p>\n

My business revolves around Customer Service calls for a Medical device company. Our agents have had to learn quite a bit about products that customers call us about every day. There are manuals in all their cubicles so the representatives can answer questions. Our Human Resources department is small and we all know each other pretty well. So, when they received a pamphlet last year titled \u201cWays to Recognize Employees this Holiday Season!\u201d they forwarded it to the administration team, in hopes of finding some new options which would show our appreciation to all employees this next upcoming holiday season.<\/p>\n

Our choice for the best idea was: \u201cGive all the employees something they would really be happy to receive\u201d. After going over all the company expenses we decided that along with the Company Christmas Cards<\/a> we’d also enclose a gift card from American Express! We are using the business AMEX card to pay for everything possible through the business and in this way we will accumulate a percentage of our total spending. The grand total can then be divided up among the total number of our employees and we can have gift cards issued. We are anticipating the amounts will be a number that feels like a really good gift! This way since everyone gets the same dollar amount there are no secrets about how much each employee receives and each can feel truly valued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My business revolves around Customer Service calls for a Medical device company.
