Baudville Releases Over 200 New Employee Gifts
Leader in Employee Recognition Encourages Companies to Revive Programs with Fresh Gifts and Themes
September 6, 2011
Grand Rapids, MICH. – When an employee recognition program loses its luster, Baudville recommends you bring back the sparkle with new recognition gifts and themes. Baudville has once again proved to be the leading innovator in day-to-day recognition and award solutions for schools and the workplace with its September product launch.
And the Grand Rapids company’s newest products certainly shine brightly. The product launch includes over 200 new employee gifts, five new recognition themes, new greeting card designs, and expansions in popular themes.
“When we set out to develop new products, we take our inspiration from design trends and the voice of our customer,” explained Kristy Sherlund, Baudville Vice President of Product and Merchandising. “Customers are always looking for new themes for their recognition program, and we delivered some great options this fall.”

Included in the product launch is the revitalization of a favorite customer theme, Attitude is Everything. “In response to overwhelming customer requests, we have brought back Attitude is Everything with an updated look,” said Brad Darooge, Baudville President and CEO. “We hope the new theme helps customers recognize the positive personalities on their teams who make a difference to their business.”
Having new employee gifts in your recognition program is important to engaging employees and motivating performance, Darooge says. A study by the University of Chicago found that rewarding with non-cash recognition, such as gifts and note cards, has a more significant impact on employee performance than cash rewards.
“Refresh your reward options with new gifts to keep employees feeling appreciated and valued, and you’ll retain valuable talent,” said Darooge.
Update employee gift options for recognition programs by shopping Baudville’s new products in their newest catalog, in-home this week, and on Baudville.com.
