At Essium, we are incredibly thankful that we get to serve such fantastic clients throughout the year. Without our clients, we wouldn’t be the company we are today, and we are eternally grateful for the trust they extend to us each and every year.
With the holidays approaching, many staffing firms also want to express their gratitude and thankfulness to their client companies and candidates. Along with being a way to embrace the season, doing so can have a positive impact on morale, loyalty, and more.
Fortunately, there are several ways to show appreciation and foster lasting connections as the holidays approach. Here are some ways that you can express your gratitude this holiday season.
How to Express Your Gratitude This Holiday Season
Heartfelt Thank You Notes
Few expressions of gratitude are as simple to do as offering a heartfelt thank you. Whether it’s a handwritten card or an email, it gives you a chance to showcase how much you value the relationships you’ve nurtured throughout the year.
If you want to make your thank you note especially impactful, make sure it’s specific. Highlight a particular moment or achievement that stands out in your mind. By doing so, you’re adding a personal touch that makes the recipient feel genuinely seen, and that makes a difference.
Offer the Gift of Food
Food-related gifts are highly popular, mainly because they’re almost universally appreciated. If you want to show your appreciation to a client company, consider a gift basket filled with a variety of treats. It’s a straightforward option that can make a big impact. Plus, if it’s large enough, it’s a shareable option that can showcase your gratitude to the entire organization.
For candidates, consider offering holiday treats in your office and invite everyone who’s actively on an assignment to stop by and partake. You can also make the snacks available to incoming candidates who are launching job searches through your recruitment agency, as it’ll make them feel welcome and appreciated right from the beginning.
Host a Holiday Party
Hosting a holiday party for your client companies or candidates is another excellent option. Along with allowing you to express your gratitude, it can create opportunities for other forms of recognition. For example, you can hand out rewards to candidates who’ve excelled on assignments, maintained perfect attendance, and more. You could also incorporate fun games or hold a raffle for attendees to add a bit of excitement to the celebration.
