  • Company events: Swag is used as giveaways or rewards at company outings, team events, and appreciation programs.

  • Holiday gifts: Seasonal merchandise can be given as festive gestures of appreciation.

How does employee merchandise benefit both the employees and the employer?

Employee merchandise offers various benefits for both parties:

1. For employees

  • Increased engagement and morale: Receiving free or discounted merchandise can make employees feel valued and appreciated, leading to increased satisfaction and motivation.
  • Enhanced brand awareness: Wearing or using company-branded merchandise promotes the company's logo and message, both inside and outside the workplace.
  • Improved team spirit and culture: Shared experiences and pride associated with company swag fosters a sense of belonging and community.
  • Practical benefits: Usable items like bags, drinkware, or tech accessories offer everyday utility and convenience.

2. For employers

  • Attract and retain top talent: High-quality swag can make the company stand out as a desirable employer, attracting and retaining skilled individuals.
  • Strengthen brand identity: Consistent branding across merchandise promotes brand recognition and reinforces the company's image.
  • Boost marketing efforts: Merchandise acts as a walking advertisement, reaching a wider audience and promoting brand awareness.
  • Improve employee communication and engagement: The distribution of merchandise can be used as a platform to communicate company news, values, or promotional campaigns.

Are employees required to pay for the merchandise?

Employee merchandise can be provided either free of cost to employees or at a subsidized price. The company typically covers the cost for essential items like branded clothing and logo-emblazoned accessories. However, for more personalized or optional items, employees might contribute a portion of the cost through payroll deductions or online store purchases.

Are there any tax implications associated with employee merchandise?

The tax implications of employee merchandise depend on the value of the items, the frequency of distribution, and the specific tax regulations in the jurisdiction.

  • De minimis fringe benefits: Items considered de minimis, meaning small and infrequent, are generally exempt from taxation for employees.
  • Gifts exceeding de minimis value: Items exceeding the de minimis limit may be considered taxable income for employees and subject to income tax.
  • Employers' deductions: Companies may be able to deduct the cost of employee merchandise as a business expense, but this depends on the specific circumstances and tax regulations.

It's crucial for companies to consult with a tax advisor to ensure compliance with all applicable tax laws and regulations regarding employee merchandise.

Enquêtes sur le pouls des employés :

Il s'agit de courtes enquêtes qui peuvent être envoyées fréquemment pour vérifier rapidement ce que vos employés pensent d'une question. L'enquête comprend moins de questions (pas plus de 10) pour obtenir rapidement les informations. Ils peuvent être administrés à intervalles réguliers (mensuels/hebdomadaires/trimestriels).

Rencontres individuelles :

Organiser périodiquement des réunions d'une heure pour une discussion informelle avec chaque membre de l'équipe est un excellent moyen de se faire une idée précise de ce qui se passe avec eux. Comme il s'agit d'une conversation sûre et privée, elle vous aide à obtenir de meilleurs détails sur un problème.

eNPS :

L'eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) est l'un des moyens les plus simples et les plus efficaces d'évaluer l'opinion de vos employés sur votre entreprise. Il comprend une question intrigante qui évalue la fidélité. Voici un exemple de questions eNPS : Quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre entreprise à d'autres personnes ? Les employés répondent à l'enquête eNPS sur une échelle de 1 à 10, où 10 signifie qu'ils sont "très susceptibles" de recommander l'entreprise et 1 signifie qu'ils sont "très peu susceptibles" de la recommander.

Sur la base des réponses, les employés peuvent être placés dans trois catégories différentes :

  • Promoteurs
    Employés qui ont répondu positivement ou qui sont d'accord.
  • Détracteurs
    Employés qui ont réagi négativement ou qui ne sont pas d'accord.
  • Passives
    Les employés qui sont restés neutres dans leurs réponses.
