Give something back to your community by doing something worthwhile for Valentine's Day. Here are some ways you can put some soul into your corporate social responsibility programs:
- Valentine's Day is a day of love, so why not show your love for the environment with some customized environment-friendly Valentine giveaways? Make this nature-loving campaign company-wide. Encourage employees to replace disposable paper cups with reusable mugs and tumblers bearing your corporate logo and to go paperless, if possible. The latter is both cost-effective and environment-friendly.
- Show love and concern for employees by implementing an employee assistance program, which workers can tap for personal, work, or financial problems. Your employee assistance program should have a holistic focus, especially in these trying times when stressed employees are worried about the possibility of losing their jobs or their shrinking 401(K). Customized gifts such as piggy banks, bill-paying organizers, calculators, and expenses planner make great Valentine giveaways while encouraging employees to take charge of their finances.
- Emphasize the need for everyone in the company to take care of their health. Make Valentine's Day an occasion for everyone to resolve to watch their weight and lead a less sedentary lifestyle. Customized pedometers, jumping rope, and yoga mat are perfect Valentine giveaways that relay your concern.
- While stressing the need to take care of individual needs, encourage employees to find ways to spread the love. One example of this is donating blood. In the US, every three seconds, a patient needs blood for emergency procedures, elective surgeries, and cancer treatments, according to Donate-Blood.com. It is thus important for blood centers to have a steady supply of blood. Thank donors through customized trinkets and memorable Valentine giveaways like key chains, mugs, and silicone bracelets.
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month happens every October, but the need to raise awareness for this disease is something we all need to do every day. Show a big heart on Valentine's Day by helping raise funds for cancer research and mammograms and educate the public about this killer disease. Employees can make tax-deductible contributions to an organization of their choice. Spread awareness through informative flyers or donate to the cancer programs by sponsoring some Breast Cancer Post-Up with your corporate logo.
- Another cause you might want to support is AIDS awareness. It is believed that there are more than 1 million HIV cases in the US. Discrimination and prejudice still abound about this disease primarily because information is not disseminated properly. Help raise awareness through custom giveaways and flyers.
