Rewarding remote workers is as important as rewarding those onsite, and gift card rewards are one way to achieve this. More people than ever before are working from home or outside the office environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased numbers of remote staff on the payroll. That creates a new challenge for businesses — rewarding those offsite workers in a way that they’ll appreciate. Companies that have gone either fully or partially remote must address this challenge effectively. How can they keep those workers motivated and positive?
Traditionally, businesses use outings, snacks, lunches, and other similar rewards to motivate employees. Now, with a remote workforce, those are no longer an option. Yet there’s even more need to celebrate the achievements of staff members when they work remotely. It’s much harder to keep remote team members onboard and engaged with their tasks. Thanking a team member is easy when they’re sitting in the next room. It isn’t so simple when they’re at home, in another town, or even in a different country. Here is where virtual gift cards come in.
Giving virtual gift cards doesn’t require the giver and recipient to be in the same room. They don’t even need to be in the same hemisphere! Businesses send virtual gift cards by email, so they can be delivered anywhere in the world. As a result, they’re a very convenient choice with no need to pay for postage.
One of the best things about virtual gift cards is their variety. There are plenty of options to pick from. From homewares to clothing, travel to entertainment, there are e-gift cards to meet all preferences. They are available for many different brands and stores, so there’s sure to be something ideal.
You can purchase e-gift cards in several currencies. They are, therefore, an excellent option for remote workers based overseas. Not only can businesses choose American gift cards, but they can pick cards valid for use around the globe. There are e-gift cards that can redeemed in Australia, Europe, the U.K., Canada, India, and more. Employees use e-gift cards in country-specific stores and have a balance in those home currencies.
For even greater flexibility when giving rewards to remote workers, you could choose a virtual Visa or Mastercard. Recipients can use them in more than 150 countries worldwide. They are also available in various currencies, including U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds, and euros. The best thing about these virtual cards is that recipients can use them to purchase items from different stores, instead of just a single brand. In fact, they can shop at any store accepting Visa or Mastercard. They can even shop in some physical stores by using mobile payment options like Apple Pay.
