3 Ways to Show Appreciation for Your Staff in Philadelphia

As a business or eCommerce storeowner you know that it’s important to show appreciation for your employees. Whether your establishment is a brick and mortar in 19106 or you solely employ remote consultants from around the world, there are fantastic outside-the-box ways to show them that you care. Get started planning your March 3rd Employee Appreciation Day party or event!

1. Cater a Party!
Ok, so this option might be a little bit obvious but why not stick with a classic? Who doesn’t love hot, fresh food made daily by local artisans who just love Philly? We recommend ordering the “Lunch Box” where each person at the office can choose from a half sandwich or wrap, a side salad or cookie, and a selection of desserts. If that’s a bit too specific, choose from any of our catering trays and mix & match: fruits, veggies, salad, hummus, cheese, salsa, and/or dessert. Give your whole office a delicious buffet to choose from and there’s no way they won’t feel love!

2. Buy Them an Experience
What if you have staff members who don’t come to the office or who don’t even live in the 19106 neighborhood? Catering may not be the best choice in this case. So why not use a global company to purchase experiences for your staff? Try Groupon.com to find massages, food making classes, art nights, beauty packages and more. Catering a party with delicious food might be one way to your staff member’s hearts but honoring them with a one-of-a-kind experience is just as thoughtful!

3. Partner Up
Get ready for some seriously cool ideas! Have you ever thought about partnering with the flower shop or local mom and pop on your road or in the 19106 area? Consider that you can offer special discounts or services to their team and see if they’ll do the same for you! Imagine the employees you have in the local 19106 Philly areas can go to local stores with a special discount arranged by you as a way to say thank you! Plus the dual marketing and relationship with that business can come back to you in more ways than you expect!

4. Appreciation is an Ongoing Responsibility

Consider that whichever method you choose, you can honor or show your team you care on an ongoing basis - not just one day per year. Perhaps you can coordinate a catered lunch or breakfast once per week or just once per month. Waterfront Gourmet has partnered with delivery services like UberEats and Grubhub to bring hot, fresh food directly to your office anywhere in the 19106 neighborhoods. With Waterfront Gourmet it’s easy to come up with a plan for how to honor your staff in a thoughtful and delicious way!
