Effective team building boosts your employees’ sense of purpose and connection at work. If you want to recognize your construction team’s hard work with gifts they will appreciate, find inspiration with the five best team-building gifts for construction workers.
1. Stylish Hi-Vis Workwear
Workers have to wear hi-vis workwear for everyone’s safety, but custom hi-vis and enhanced-visibility apparel can look stylish as well as functional. Check for the ANSI rating, then choose design images that your workers will love.
Whether you opt for a jacket, t-shirt, or hoodie, consider adding your business’s logo. One of the best reasons to give your workers custom safety apparel is to promote team spirit, and you can use the logo for a unified look.
2. Stainless Steel Tumblers
It’s critical for employees to stay hydrated and energized so they can work safely and help each other out. That’s why a stainless steel tumbler is a great team-building gift for construction workers.
Give high-quality insulated stainless steel tumblers that will keep workers’ beverages hot or cold for hours while they’re on the job. Stainless steel is durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean; look for a double-walled tumbler for better insulation.
3. Reusable Hand or Foot Warmers
Reusable hand or foot warmers will help protect the team from getting too cold. Toe warmers are half-socks that seal heat around the toes. And while workers won’t be able to hold their hand warmers continuously on the job, they’ll appreciate using them during their breaks.
Disposable warmers can provide hours of heat, but you have to throw them out eventually. When it comes to reusable hand or foot warmers, they might be battery-operated, rechargeable, or require boiling.
4. Variety Snack Boxes
For a great gift, give each worker a variety snack box full of tasty, energy-boosting, and interesting snacks! Your team can appreciate roasted nuts, savory chips and crackers, smoked cheese, and jerky during their work breaks or at home. Build your own filled-to-the-brim assortment, or select a premade basket for each employee.
5. Wool Work Socks
Finally, wool work socks will keep workers’ feet warm and comfortable, helping them continue work and preventing debilitating aches at the end of the day. Everyone who works on their feet knows that well-made work socks aren’t cheap, but they’re worth the investment.
Wool socks will wick away sweat, keeping feet dry and preventing chafing and blisters. Look for other comfort features as well, such as a flat-knit toe and elastic arch.
