Due to the recession, less workers will be venturing on a vacation this summer. The obvious reason is because of money: consumers want to save money with hopes to spend more next year, when (hopefully) the economy is in better shape. However, employees also simply do not have enough time to spend anymore than a weekend away from work. With many companies on a hiring freeze, employees have a heavier workload and are experiencing more anxiety. According to an article from SHRM.org, close to one in five of 4,435 full-time U.S. workers surveyed are afraid of being fired because of taking a vacation in 2009, or they feel guilty for being away from the office.
On the bright side, we can assume that the economy will be in better shape within the next several years. However, this will also be the time when workers will start considering leaving their jobs if unsatisfied, since more businesses will be hiring. So why not stay ahead of the game and start rewarding your employees with promotional products? If they can't go on vacation this summer, try and reward your workers with fun promotional games or custom toys. This will help relieve some of the stress your staff may be experiencing this summer while also reminding them that your business cares about developing long-term relationships with its workers. Promotional beach towels or custom beach balls would also be a great idea, since many people are still likely to head to the beach over the course of the summer as opposed to taking a week-long vacation.
