For as long as I can remember, we've given gifts to each of our staff at our end-of-year parties. But as well as the gift (which, over the years, has included custom Frank Green pet food bowls & Oodies), we give a speech and thank every staff member individually, publicly.
Over the years, it's gotten harder to spontaneously riff as the team has grown, but there's something powerful about 'seeing' people in front of their partners and peers. Of calling out what makes them unique, and why we value them.
And while people may not remember everything that was said about them, they do remember how they felt. And that's the gold.
