Employee Appreciation Day
March 6, 2026
We make it easy to celebrate a year of great work, great people, and great teams on Employee Appreciation Day.
Celebrate with a Group Points Deposit
Everyone loves points! A Group Deposit is the easiest and most equitable way to reward everyone in your organization, in all locations, all at once. And it’s never too late to say “thank you” since you can set up a same-day deposit.
Select-a-Gift lets everyone choose
Make Employee Appreciation Day more personal: everyone gets to choose the gift they want from a selection of popular options. Select-a-Gift is an inclusive way to reward everyone, no matter how large or diverse your workforce. And it takes as little as little as one week to set up.
Manager Store: New gifting option!
Managers can order company-branded, customizable trophies, gifts, and awards tailored to the needs of their team from a curated Manager Store to surprise and delight their people. Give a tangible gift of appreciation, perfect for honoring essential offline and remote employees.
Note: Delivery of gifts for Employee Appreciation Day (March 6) depends on product availability.
