How Branded-Merch Boosts Morale

HR Folks: Is it possible to stem the tide of “quiet quitting” with high-end branded merch?
 
In the age of quiet quitting, connecting with disengaged employees is a top priority.
 
Business leaders and HR professionals are scrambling for ways to excite and motivate their workforce.

Research shows that awe-inspiring brand gifts and incentives could do the trick.

While she doesn’t mention high-end branded merch in the article, we have heard anecdotally from clients that branded merch boosts employee morale and can impact quiet quitting.
 
Good news for our branded merch space, and of course, for our clients!
