Can you imagine a major corporation unveiling a corporate wellness program in the 1940s? 😵‍💫 Or a company offering mental health services in the 60s?

Times are changing. These days, prioritizing health can improve job satisfaction and employee retention. And this doesn’t stop during the holidays. Here are a few reasons to consider health-minded gifts this holiday!

When you purchase a health-minded gift, it shows:
🎁 You care about your employee beyond their role at your company.

🎁 Your company is thoughtful and intentional in their gifts.

🎁 You give explicit permission to take time for self-care.

🎁 You are supportive of those setting health-minded goals.

Warning! We're going deeeeep today. We're talking about the why that drives us at beCAUSE minded.⁠
⁠
Sometimes we get caught up in client shipments, fulfilling orders, and marketing...and we have to take a moment to recenter and remember who we are. We are world changers.⁠
⁠
When we pack a box, we are sending out products, and making room for new inventory that is literally changing lives around the world. When we do our marketing, we are sharing our message of what it means to practice empowered gifting, giving people the chance to use their dollars in mighty ways.⁠
⁠
Jessica Shields launched beCAUSE minded with one goal in mind – to make it easy for businesses with gifting budgets to support companies and non-profits making a positive impact in the world. In her wildest dreams, this business will funnel billions of dollars in corporate gifting budgets into organizations who help provide clean water in developing countries. Maybe Fortune 500 companies will purchase gift boxes with items from companies whose sole purpose is to restore s*x trafficking survivors by providing job training and a reliable income. Dream big, right?⁠

One of our favorite aspects of corporate gifting is its power to boost celebration and camaraderie in the workplace.

How?
1️⃣ Recognition. Employees dedicate a huge part of their time and mental energy to work. And when they feel appreciated for that dedication, it can create a sense of warmth about their work.
2️⃣ Community. Through corporate gifting, a company can recognize each individual and the part they play in the bigger story. A company might celebrate completing a big project with both a team dinner and individual gifts for each team member.
3️⃣ Positive Vibes. Corporate gifting creates a positive environment by promoting positive interactions and strengthening relationships. When employees receive tokens of appreciation or experience shared moments of joy during gift-giving events, it uplifts the overall mood and energy within the workplace.

If there’s one thing every business is working towards, it’s being efficient with their time. 🕛️ So, we make systems for everything – monthly reports, onboarding, meeting schedules, etc. 📈 We love systems at beCAUSE minded. But how does that work with something as personal as gifting? Doesn’t that need to be done from scratch each time? The answer is no.

The debate is on. Is it ok to standardize gifts for employees or should every employee receive a gift that is unique to them? 🤔⁠
⁠
We believe it depends on the occasion. Some work well with standardized gifts, while others require a more personal touch to effectively communicate the appreciation you are trying to show. ⁠
