What is a company without its employees? A car without an engine? A millennial without avocado? An artist without a canvas? No matter if you lead a team of three, or a team of three thousand, employees are an invaluable cog in the well-oiled corporate machine.

These cogs, therefore, deserve the best: a thoughtful gift that recognises the person behind the payslip. This year, workers will have had to make unprecedented levels of adjustment in their lives,learning not only to navigate the world of work from their homes, but simultaneously teach their children, juggle the anxiety of a worldwide pandemic, and bid farewell to much-needed social contact.

Art, however, satisfies that longing to feel connected at a safe distance.

1. It’s personal

Don’t underestimate the power in personalisation; employees will always appreciate a personal gesture that shows you care. Achieving a professional level of ‘personal’ can be hard, which is why art is a powerful compromise.

A cultural gift such as a painting is a truly unique way to thank workers this Christmas, as it says a lot, without saying too much. Paintings are subjective yet open, ready to absorb interpretations from their viewers, making them a fail-safe gift.

If selecting an artwork feels too overwhelming, Artupia can provide companies with a selection of artworks that fits their corporate vision. Alternatively, Artupia’s Custom Painting service also allows businesses to commission artists to create personalised artworks, using photos, ideas, company logos and colours to create the perfect addition to employees’ home offices.
