The Do’s and Don'ts of Valentine’s Day at Work
Don’t get distracted from important business matters
- Regardless of what day it is, it’s critical to remember that the reason you’re at work is to be productive. Try not to get distracted by the commercialism and the romanticism of the holiday, especially if you have pressing business matters to attend to.
Do consider Valentine-themed giveaways
- In terms of marketing your business, creating a timely giveaway or contest on your company’s social media accounts can be a great way to utilize the holiday as a good public relations technique.
Do take team photographs
- One way to properly celebrate the holiday at work would be to take photos, either individually or as a team, as a form of promotion. Posting these photographs online through social media, website, or email can be a great way to involve your target audience and wish them a happy holiday.
Do take the chance to share what you love about where you work and/or the people you work with
- If you’re looking to give thanks and show your appreciation on Valentine’s Day, a great way would be to share your admiration for your job and/or your coworkers.
Don’t forget to bring gifts for everyone
- If you’re planning on bringing gifts for coworkers, don’t forget to include everyone. The last thing you want to do is unintentionally offend someone because you forget to include them in your gift exchange.
Don’t overspend on coworkers
- Bringing gifts to coworkers on Valentine’s Day is a great way to show your appreciation, but don’t go crazy. Something small and sincere can go a long way, but you’ll want to make sure everyone gets their fair share.
