We live in the new-age era where human interactions have improved far better than before. Same way, when it comes to employer-employee relations, there is a much better scope of bonding than in earlier times. We are not living in the times when either of the parties had a dominating power or control over the professional relationship. Festive times are the ones when employers and employees enjoy their personal lives at their best. So, when it comes to a professional relationship, why not use the Diwali festival to renew the bonding and make a memorable effect on each other?

1) Give them a listening ear:
Many times employers think that they are doing too much for the welfare of employees by giving them bonuses or incentives. See in life, it is not just materialistic wealth that a person wants to acquire. When you are in a giver role, make sure that your employees just don’t need you for salary or job title. They want you to hear them out and understand where they are coming from. When they tell you that their internet was not working while you gave them assignments to do from home, they really mean you to know that you shouldn’t count on them for such jobs. When they ask you to grant them sick leave quite often, understand that their health is not under their control. You need to have that empathetic listening to know that not all employees lie to take an off from their work.
2) Introduce flexible work culture:
Probably you may have fired several employees during the pandemic times because they rejected your offer to work from the office. Even when you thought that working from the office is the only way to get results, your employees would have resigned themselves saying that they can’t manage their homes and professions. So, instead of losing out great employees one by one, why don’t you launch some changes in your work processes? At the end of the day, what matters to you is quality work. So, why do you bother how your employees work for the same? Instead of installing CCTV cameras on every desktop and keeping an eye on the conversations that your employees keep doing during break time, it is better if you loosen up your rigid toxic work culture.
3) Give them a stress-free work environment:
Apart from the normal gifting options of mugs, caps, accessories, books, devices, etc. you can really think of how you can keep your employees motivated to come to work. May be you can provide them with a stress-free environment to work wherein you reduce the possibilities of office politics and also increased workload without any notice.
These are some of the emotional gifts that you can really gift your employees this Diwali and create a change in their lives.
