In most organizations, it is customary to congratulate employees on their birthday. It doesn't take much effort on your part to make your colleague happy on a holiday.
Instructions
Step 1
In order not to be mistaken with the date, ask the HR department for a list of birthdays of employees of the company (or the department where you work). Set reminders about these dates (for example, on your mobile phone), one - a few days in advance, the other - directly on the holiday date.
Step 2
Plan a rough budget for congratulations. Discuss with your colleagues the possibility of collecting money for gifts and set an amount that is feasible for everyone. It is better if you immediately manage to collect the entire required amount for a year. Otherwise, start reminders to donate money early so people can plan their budget.
Step 3
Take care of small gifts. These can be notebooks, organizers, original pens or mugs. A good souvenir will be a thing directly related to work - for example, a keychain-pressure gauge - for a car mechanic, a new stethoscope or thermometer - for a doctor, a laser pointer or a set of special markers for a whiteboard - for a teacher.
To save personal time, gifts can be bought for everyone at once - then during the year you will be relieved of the need to go shopping every time in search of a suitable option.
Step 4
If your organization allows holiday teas, invite other employees to help organize it. Distribute responsibilities - let someone take care of disposable dishes, someone will go for cakes or cake, someone will set the table.
Step 5
If you wish, on the day before the holiday, stay with your colleagues after work and decorate the workplace of the future birthday boy. For this, flowers, balloons, streamers, home-made greeting posters, etc. are suitable.
It is better to schedule congratulations in the morning - the birthday person will receive a positive charge for the whole day. After the hero of the occasion is gifted by everyone, remind him that after a working day he will have a festive tea party.
