As a team, we often celebrate various state and corporate holidays. A week before February 23, employees of the personnel department, like any other person, are wondering how to congratulate and what to present to men?

First you need to decide on the material component of the congratulations. In the corporate culture of Russian companies, you can find three ways to congratulate colleagues:

The costs are fully reimbursed by the company and are most often calculated when developing an HR plan at the end of each year.

People are tired of standard gifts that are so commonplace and more likely to cause dissatisfaction or indifference than joy and gratitude.

In this case, the HR department develops a congratulation concept depending on the amount allocated. In medium-sized companies, they can limit themselves to gifts, and in large companies, it is possible to combine congratulations with team-building, thereby achieving their goals and strengthening the team spirit.

The costs are partially compensated by employees.

Some companies are partly involved in the congratulation. Often this situation occurs when there is a gender imbalance, when there are much fewer women in the company than men.

The costs are borne entirely by the employees of the company.

The company is not involved in sponsoring the event, and employees cope on their own. In such a situation, colleagues can often afford modest gifts and congratulations, not everyone is ready to give more than 400 rubles from their budget.

In any case, regardless of the possibilities, it is desirable to congratulate male colleagues, and in some companies with a developed corporate culture and ethics, it is obligatory.
