How do we keep staff engaged when lockdowns, home schooling, & working from home have put all our lives are under relentless pressure?
Our work environments and relationship are under stress, when we feel displaced & distanced. Many businesses in Australia are struggling with how to maintain work relationships & engage staff when they are stuck in an enduring pandemic.
Finding a easy communication method to maintain employee relationships & show empathy is key. Digital MicroGifts are one way Business's have found to keep spirits up.
MicroGifts are being used to grow relationships & engage with staff. Conn3cted a leading Sydney IT development company with around 20 staff who normally work in a single office have been using MicroGifts to keep staff enthused & motivated while communicating their ongoing need for teamwork.
"We are a technology company and have been using MicroGifts to send digital care packages to our staff to let them know they are valued and that we care for them." said Glenn Murray, the Co-Founder and CTO of Conn3cted."The response from our team has been fantastic, they love that we can reach out to them and share a little in such a frustrating time"
MicroGifts Co-Founder Nick Roche explains that by humanising the message, you can engage with your employees, so they feel less isolated & victimised by something out of their control.
"We have sent all our clients MicroGifts emphasising to "Stay Safe" with a $7 gift paying for their coffees, anytime we hear the lockdowns are extended." Roche explains "It is a small gesture to reinforce how important our relationship with our clients is to us. Given our gifts accumulate in the Apple or Google pay wallet the balance builds, so sending $7 in not seen as cheap or inconvenient, but as a building block in an ongoing relationship. The feedback has been tremendous & incredibly personal"
MicroGifts an Australia fintech, born of the pandemic, believes they can help deliver a digital solution for businesses to foster staff engagement by remotely reaching out to their employees & customers in a personalised & meaningful way during these trying times.
"MicroGifts has set out to change the $10bn gift card industry by putting the user journey at the centre of our business. Transitioning from the traditional plastic store card with a fixed retail brand, to a personalised digital mobile experience with the ultimate freedom to spend how they choose. We designed a gift card & platform that broke all the rules, we want our recipients to feel exhilarated when they get one of our cards, not encumbered and restricted like they do with branded store cards", Roche explained.
MicroGifts Digital Gift Cards are customised to suit each business need - they are branded and themed with multiple images and messages to maximise effectiveness. As a Platform as a Service the client business has an online account the holds the templates ready for sending to 1 or many by email. Sent & received instantly, the gift is a digital Mastercard that is held in Apple or Google Pay wallet on the recipient's mobile phone with live balances, ready to be redeemed on Tap & n Go or online anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
Gift-giving is an important part of human interaction that helps define relationships and strengthen bonds between friends and colleagues. The MicroGifts next generation digital reward platforms make business connection instant, recognition timely, & small incentives accessible to all without barriers.
We think our MicroGifts technology can help business and Australia stay safe, connected, & empowered during these trying times.
