Make Things Pop With Balloons

A light and fun way to draw recognition to your employees is to give them a bundle of metallic helium-filled balloons for milestones they meet on or off the job. A bundle of balloons stands out like a searchlight in the night, especially if the employee works in a cubicle.

Balloons are an excellent way to put some extra recognition on top of such upbeat workplace events as promotions, transfers, and welcoming new employees, as well as for such personal events as birthdays, graduations, and weddings. When other employees spot these balloons, they tend to come by to check out the occasion, and this further enhances and widens the reach of this type of recognition.

You can further personalize this recognition by having the employee’s picture or just about any photo or comments placed onto the balloons. People typically associate balloons with fun events earlier in their lives, and when you bring them into the workplace, you help rekindle those feelings.
