5 Products For an Employee Who Could Use a Little Self-Care

Life happens. As a business owner, you may learn of an employee who had a death in the family or is caring for a chronically ill loved one. Perhaps someone in the office has been burning the midnight oil, and it’s starting to show in their face and even mood.

You may want to remind them of the importance of self-care. Actions can speak louder than words, though. Putting together a self-care basket with products can be a sweet way to show you know they have a ton on their plates and want them to be kind to themselves. These items make the perfect addition to office self-care kits.

Employees go through highs and lows at work and in their personal lives. It is essential to support them through that and see them as people, not simply staff. When employees feel cared about, they are more looking to stay through tough times. Providing self-care baskets with face masks, bath bombs, and foot-pampering products can be a way to show you support them. As nice as these baskets and products are, it’s also essential to treat people with respect and be mindful of their time. Avoid off-hours texts and emails for non-emergencies, and encourage people to use their paid time off if it’s available to them.
