August 1, 20245 min readOne in five of us will have quit our jobs in 2022, according to a report by PwC. Workplace goodbyes can be a bittersweet. On the one hand, it’s sad to see someone go (depending on the leaver in question!) but on the other hand, it can bring positive change and an opportunity to celebrate their time at your workplace and to wish them luck for whatever’s next.
There is a wealth of tat in the workplace gifting world. Don’t be that person. A tip for finding the perfect farewell gift for your colleague is to focus on a hobby or activity they enjoy and use this as the inspiration for your gift ideas.
When it comes to choosing a leaving gift, Collection Pot is always the way forward. It means sharing the administrative efforts but also the financial responsibility of collecting for your leaving colleague.
When using Collection Pot, it allows you to collect towards something special OR you can gift the Pot direct to the recipient and allow them to choose! They can convert the Pot into a charity donation, a gift card (where there are over 60 to choose from!) or cash it directly into their chosen bank account.
And what’s more? It’s super simple.
