Gifting is the ultimate party trick for any boss or HR professional looking to boost employee morale and retention! By giving gifts, you're showing your employees that you appreciate their hard work and contributions, which can lead to higher job satisfaction and engagement.
Not only that, but gifting can also bring a touch of fun and excitement to the workplace. Imagine the excitement on your employees' faces when they receive a gift card to their favorite restaurant or a tech gadget they've been eyeing. It's like a mini celebration just for them!
But gifting isn't just about having fun, it's also about promoting employee wellness. By gifting wellness-related items or experiences, you're encouraging your employees to prioritize their health and well-being, which can have a positive impact on their job satisfaction and stress management.
So what are you waiting for? Unleash the power of gifting and watch employee morale soar!
]]>This year, I decided that I wanted to join them. It was going to be our little family of four at the event. Learning from past years, we parked a car close to the Sun Bowl earlier in the day. We had my Dad drop us off at the Sun Bowl at 6:45 and we were on our way. Quick stops for beer for the adults, snacks and souvenirs for the kids and we were in our seats, ready to go. Not many people had ear protection but I brought my ear guards and was happy that I did! Those suckers were loud!
The Sun Bowl was packed to the gills. There wasn’t an open seat anywhere. Even the upper corners of the stadium were full. The show started and we were able to Fan Vote for our favorite. We really felt like we were contributing and everyone was having fun. Then IT started… The WAVE! We stood up when we were supposed to, waved our arms and screamed. After about 5 times around, my daughter wanted to know when we were supposed to stop. Good Question! I told her I wasn’t sure, it usually just fizzled out.
Now, I know this isn’t an El Paso phenomenon, but this thing started in the 1970’s and we are STILL doing it! This cracks me up because to me this is So El Paso! I have been to many other events in different venues, but somehow El Paso owns this thing. You can’t go to an event at the Sun Bowl and not be part of the Wave. It’s fun, it’s entertaining and it’s a tradition! The trick is not to spill your beer on the person in front of you!
]]>Religious candles can be found in most cities, but religious candles in the grocery store are So El Paso! Where else in the world, do they have a full display 4 feet wide by 6 feet high of religious candles! AND, if you wait long enough, they go on sale. How crazy is it that you walk into your neighborhood Albertson’s or national chain Walgreen's, look up at the aisle markers and see:
Cleaners
Dish Detergents
Religious Candles
I’m not Catholic, so I’m not sure what the big draw is, but evidently the marketing gurus have drawn some successful conclusion that these babies sell! How else does one item get such top billing on an aisle marker. Once again, not good, not bad, just So El Paso!
