Boost Company Culture and Engagement with a Back to School Kit!

As summer winds down and the school bells start ringing again, it's the perfect time to step up and show some love to your employees and their families. Let's dive into how this fun idea can boost company culture and engagement, all while making your employees with kids’ lives a bit easier! 

Why a Back to School Kit? 

1. Spreading Appreciation: 

Who doesn't love a thoughtful surprise? Giving out Back to School kits shows your employees that you appreciate all they do and understand the juggling act they perform daily as hardworking professionals and devoted parents. 

2. Lightening the Load: 

School supplies can add up quickly, and helping with these costs is a great way to show you care. Plus, it’s one less thing for your employees with kids to worry about as they gear up for the new school year. 

3. Fostering Loyalty: 

When employees see that their company is invested in their families’ well-being, they’re more likely to stick around and give their best. A little kindness goes a long way in building a loyal and happy team! 

4. Boosts Company Culture and Engagement 

Creating and distributing Back to School kits is a wonderful way to build a sense of community within your company, boost employee morale, and show that you care about work-life balance. This thoughtful gesture not only reduces stress for families but also leaves lasting positive impressions, enhancing your company’s reputation as a supportive and caring employer. When employees feel valued and supported, they are happier, more engaged, and more productive, contributing to a stronger, more connected workplace culture! 

What to Include in Your Back to School Kit? 

Let’s talk about what makes a Back to School kit awesome. Here are some fun and practical items to consider: 

• Apparel: Create a fun design for your team’s kids to rock on a fresh new t-shirt, hoodie, or jacket for the upcoming school year. 

• Custom Notebooks and Planners: Make them “cool for school” with your company logo and some inspiring quotes or kid-friendly designs. 

• Stationery Supplies: Pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers, and rulers – the works! 

• Backpacks: Sturdy, stylish, and practical. 

• Water Bottles: Reusable and trendy, because staying hydrated is key! 

• Lunch Boxes: Fun and practical, with a touch of your brand’s flair. 

• Tech Goodies: USB drives, headphones, or tablet stands for the tech-savvy kids. 

• Stickers, Keychains, Pins: Everyone loves a new sticker to add to their water bottle (it’s what all the cool kids are doing), or a keychain to add to their backpack!
