Showing your employees how much you care is important now more than ever before. According to a 2022 Gallup survey, more than 40% of employees report receiving recognition only a few times a year. While that may not seem like much, the effects and impact on employee satisfaction is daunting. Of the group that received little recognition (defined as 3 or fewer moments of explicit recognition in the past year), 74% said they did not see themselves staying at their company the next year, and they were 3 times as likely to be disengaged at work.
While buying employees gifts is not the solution to this nationwide problem, it does offer a way to express appreciation for hard work done, especially following periods of "work sprints" or busy seasons, depending on your industry. And if you do decide to gift, we think you should do it sustainably, and with us. Here's why:
- Climate Friendliness – EarthHero is a true one-stop shop for all things sustainable. We have thousands of products from hundreds of vetted brands. We do the research so you don't have to AND we have third-party certifications that verify what we say we're doing.

- Brand Image – What your company does has a tremendous impact on your image and public perception of your brand. The last thing you want to do is gift your employees a boring, cheap-looking and plastic-laden branded water bottle and pen. And it's not the items that are bad choices, but their impact and what that says about how much you care about your employees, the planet, and your brand. Hey, if you do want a water bottle and pen, we have the best out there AND can engrave your logo or personalize it however you'd like.
