Thank You Day 2022 – How to Recognise Your Employees

This Sunday 5th June is Thank You Day, and it just so happens to coincide with the Queen’s 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Put the two together and what do you get? A four-day-long weekend, and the perfect opportunity to show your staff just how much you care

What is Thank You Day?

Thank You Day was created in 2021, in a bid to bring us all together to say a huge, heartfelt thank you. To loved ones, colleagues, neighbours – anyone, in fact, who helped us through the pandemic. Not to mention the heroic key workers who inspired us all along the way.

How you can take part in Thank You Day 2022

Join the England football team and lots of other celebrity names by participating in the ‘Chain of Thank Yous’. Simply post your thank you message on social media (post or video), nominate someone else to do the same, and tag them. Then, it’s their turn! Don’t forget to use #ThankYouDay, too.

Gift experiences to say thank you – our top picks

Thank You Day 2022 is the ideal opportunity to champion and recognise employees who’ve done a great job over the past 12 months. If you’re not sure how to show your gratitude, we’ve got you covered. Here are five royally good gift experiences just right for the Jubilee weekend…

1. Traditional afternoon tea

Few things are as quintessentially British as afternoon tea, so what better way to celebrate Her Majesty’s epic 70-year reign (and the thumbs-up from the boss!), than with platters of sandwiches, cake, and scones smothered in jam and clotted cream? Treat a loyal staff member to one of our classic afternoon tea gifts, or up the ante with a Sparkling Afternoon Tea, which includes (you guessed it!) celebratory bubbles.

A day out in London

Reward a standout team or employee this Jubilee weekend with a day out in The Big Smoke – HRH’s city of residence for the majority of her seven decades on the throne.

We’ve got a variety of London-based activities to choose from, including dazzling West End shows and big-hitting landmarks like The Shard and the London Eye. Alternatively, say thank you with a guided tour on the famous River Thames.

3. A luxury spa visit

If you’re looking to promote employee wellbeing, a revitalizing spa session is the ultimate antidote to a busy 9 to 5. Say thank you to a team member who deserves a little R&R in the form of poolside snoozes, refreshing dips, and sumptuous spa treatments. Depending on which one of our spa experiences you select, we’ll also include lunch or afternoon tea.

4. A gourmet dining experience

Want to delight a gastronomy buff? Here’s how to do it. Choose one of our fine dining experiences and the guest of honour will savour gourmet dishes at a renowned UK restaurant. Many of the eateries in this exclusive collection have prestigious accolades to their name, such as a Michelin star or a duo of AA rosettes. In other words, expect out-of-this-world food and five-star service as standard.

5. A luxury mini break

With a four-day weekend on the cards, a short break is the perfect way to show your employees just how much you appreciate them. And we’ve got hundreds of short breaks to choose from – from smart boutique hotels in city hotspots, to countryside retreats fit for a Queen. Our hotel stays span locations across the UK and Europe, as well.
