At Eye Health America, they can see that recognizing an employee’s unique value is more than just a checkbox—it’s a culture. With over 1,150 team members spanning different roles and departments, they knew that celebrating work anniversaries, expressing gratitude with thank-you gifts, and spreading holiday cheer were not just nice-to-haves—they were essentials. But it wasn’t just about checking off a list of recognition activities; it was about creating moments that would resonate with their employees, making them feel truly valued and appreciated. That’s where we, at Gifted.co, come into play. We understand that a thoughtful, well-timed gesture can go a long way in building a positive work environment and enhancing employee engagement.
Eye Health America needed a recognition platform that was as dynamic and diverse as their workforce. They were looking for a solution that could cater to every employee, from the front desk to the corner office, making sure everyone felt seen, valued, and appreciated. Plus, with six admins managing the process, they needed something that was easy to integrate with their existing systems, especially Paylocity. They were also looking for a platform that could offer a variety of options, ensuring that each recognition moment felt personal and impactful. This wasn’t just about ticking boxes—it was about creating a seamless, enjoyable experience for both the admins and the employees.
Gifted.co delivered the goods—literally and figuratively. Our platform became their go-to for all things employee recognition, and we made sure it was a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish. From our intuitive user interface to our wide range of gifting options, every aspect of our platform is designed to make the recognition process as effortless as possible. We believe that recognition should be as diverse as the people receiving it, which is why we offer an extensive selection of gift cards, physical gifts, and swag, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
With thousands of options, every employee found something they loved—whether it was Nike for new shoes, Airbnb for a vacation, Cinnabon for something sweet, or Nordstrom for a shopping spree. The variety allowed each employee to pick something that truly resonated with them, making the recognition feel personal and thoughtful.
Choose from standout options like wine from Napa, Sony headphones, a heated neck wrap, and more. These weren’t just gifts—they were little reminders that each team member matters. Each gift was carefully curated to ensure it would leave a lasting impression, reinforcing the idea that their contributions were noticed and appreciated.
Branded merch that employees actually want to use? Yep, we’ve got that covered too. Think laptop sleeves, T-shirts, mugs, hoodies, insulated water bottles, and more. These items weren’t just company-branded gear; they were practical, high-quality products that employees were excited to receive and use.
And thanks to our seamless integration with Paylocity, those six admins had everything running like a well-oiled machine. Managing recognition was no longer a chore—it was a pleasure. The ease of use meant that admins could focus on creating meaningful recognition experiences rather than getting bogged down by logistics.
