Roughly a third of Americans are now working remotely because of COVID-19. In this challenging environment, employees are spending more time completing tasks. Many find themselves frustrated by the toll online meetings take on efficiency and struggling with feelings of detachment. Promotional items can help your workers mitigate these work-from-home struggles. A steady stream of unique, fun, and useful items each month can keep them engaged. What company-branded swag options might foster a better connection between your employees and business? 

Collaboration and Communication Enhancers

Improve focus when your Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, or Chandler, AZ business hosts Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings, aiding employees with:

• Professional or fun video conference backdrops that camouflage clutter
• Wireless/Bluetooth earbuds for privacy and noise reduction
• Surround-sound and Bluetooth portable speakers that improve volume and clarity

Motivation Boosters

Show workers that their efforts are seen and appreciated, despite their off-site status, with functional items like:

• Blue light blocking glasses to combat eye strain
• Drinkware that thwarts spills
• Branded post-it notes, memo boards, pens, and more
• Desk organizers

Distraction Busters

With kids, neighbors, and outdoor activities, it’s easy to get distracted in the home office. Help employees stay efficient and on task with:

• Silicone and soft foam earplugs
• Noise-canceling headphones to improve concentration

Tech Support Solutions

Just because your workers aren’t onsite at your San Jose, Palo Alto, Walnut Creek, San Francisco, Burlingame, or Danville, CA grounds, doesn’t mean their tech support challenges have disappeared. Fortunately, you can manage common work-from-home technology issues with: 

• Webcam security covers
• Screen cleaning gear
• Wi-Fi repeater and signal amplifiers for poor/congested connections
• Tech organizers for flash drives, cables, and chargers
• Tablet stands and lap/bed desks that allow for mobility in the home

Employee Engagement

In remote work settings, it’s easy for workers to feel isolated and disengaged. Fortunately, there are ways to boost team cohesiveness and enhance the feeling of community in this trying time, with:

• Branded face masks to show you care for your employees’ well-being
• Thoughtful gift baskets, such as a Godiva chocolate basket with tumbler for a sweet treat, birthday, or holiday gift

Assistance for “Unplugging”

Your employees need time away to maintain productivity. However, with no change of location or defined office hours, workers may struggle to distinguish personal from professional time. Encourage workers to maintain healthy boundaries with non-work-related items such as:

• Movie night combo boxes
  • Picnic baskets for a socially distant outdoor escape
  • Aromatherapy diffuser sets to encourage relaxation
  • Soft and cozy blankets for much-needed couch time

Your workers value your ability to offer them workplace flexibility – show them they’re valued too with custom-designed, made-to-order swag.
