Connecting with your employees through festive gifting

We live in a country that is renowned for being a melting pot of rich, diverse cultures that celebrate a range of festivities throughout the year. In India, festivals are natural engagement boosters for organisations. This is the time when leadership teams, led by HR, come together to find unique and fun ways to engage with employees actively. It is also the time when corporations are looking for partners to meet this agenda and deliver best-in-class gifting solutions to their employees, thereby creating a strong employee value proposition.

After the pandemic hit the world last year, and employees began adapting to the new way of working remotely, the role of gifting became even more vital for organisations to creatively tackle the issue of staying connected with employees and partners alike. Owing to the situation at large, switching to digital gifting solutions is becoming the norm and organisations are rapidly adapting to this phenomenon.

With 25 years of presence in India, Sodexo has established itself as the Leading Employee Benefits and Rewards Company, dedicated towards delivering personalized employee experiences in the workplace and beyond, for its 11,000+ partner organizations. Sodexo aims to redefine employee gifting strategies in the hybrid workplace, while attempting to keep the festive spirit intact as companies navigate the challenges of the new normal.
