Reaching a good age for retiring, an employee may he be of the common position or a higher management type of position would want to have something glamorous and worthy of safekeeping after his years of service with a corporation. Even before being assimilated into a corporation, the employee has been constantly acquiring gifts, rewards and benefits during certain years of rendered service or perhaps when the personnel has contributed something significant to the company's growth and stature.
One of the benefits which are given to any deserving employee at the end of his career is a hefty lump of cash from the different policies such as retirement, back tax, and other similar benefits. Another is a memento which signifies the person's affiliation with the company which gives prestige and honor.
Looking at a corporation as a big family of colleagues, each with an assigned task and designation to fully implement the tasks to efficiently keep the company's mode of operations at optimum, the retiree would want to have something he is able to feel proud of and be shown to others.
What Not
Of course it wouldn't be wise to give the retiree something that would be anything like the things he had during service that would suggest more work to be delegated. Some of these things may be referred to as a desk, a work chair, or a filing desk. Even if these are customized and made of the most expensive materials, it would not be that practical and wise since what you would want the retiree to feel is that he is now rewarded with a big sum of cash to spend on pure leisure and enjoyment. Well, unless these not-to items are to be given as prank gifts, then a good suggestion would be to refrain from it altogether.
Say It In Crystal
Corporate gifts usually would be best characterized in pristine and glamorous pieces of memorabilia. A good material to use is crystal. Crystal has been used ever since as a form of luxury and finesse.
A good idea to have is to present a corporate retirement gift in a crystal dining set, which would allow the retiree to dine in style with his loved ones, especially now that he will be spending most of the time with his beloved family.
Another crystal idea is to present a replica of the building as a form of figurine which would show the glamour and the majesty of the structure that the employee has rendered his skills and talent over the decades. Of course, one has to consider first if the real model of the building itself shows majesty and grandeur.
A safe idea would be to present the corporate retiree with crystal chess set, complete with personalized and handcrafted chess pieces. This would spark the royal thinking and strategic mind of the retiree even after he is off with battling stocks and corporate deals and assignments.
Say It In Brass
Other than crystal, a retiring employee may also want to be presented with items in brass. These brass items would be in the form of jewelry such as a company ring, or cufflinks which may be used in formal gatherings to add to the added formal recognition and affiliation with the company.
Whatever the preference of the retiree may be, corporate retirement gifts speak only of one thing: affiliation.
