Ways to Show Your Appreciation…

Gift Ideas:

• • • Themed Goodie Bags: Fill bags with fun items related to money or banking. Think mints, stress balls shaped like coins, lottery scratch-offs (check local regulations), pens, and sticky notes.
    • Gift Cards: Gift cards to coffee shops, restaurants, or local stores are always appreciated.
    • Personalized Items: Get creative with custom mugs, water bottles, or phone cases with the teller’s name or a bank-related design.
    • Comfort & Convenience: Eye strain is a common teller complaint. Consider blue-light blocking glasses or a spa gift certificate for a massage.

Service Ideas:

• • • Catered Lunches: Treat your tellers to a delicious lunch throughout the week. This gives them a break from their routine and allows for team bonding.
    • Themed Dress Days: Lighten the mood with themed dress days like “Crazy Sock Day” or “Wear Your Favorite Color.”
    • Customer Appreciation: Encourage customers to show their appreciation by leaving a compliment card or writing a thank you note to their teller.
    • Raffles & Contests: Hold raffles or contests throughout the week, with prizes like gift certificates or time off.
    • Recognition & Awards: Publicly acknowledge the achievements of your tellers. Highlight their customer service skills, accuracy, or helpfulness.

Bonus Ideas:

• • • Award a Certificate: Download our complimentary Stellar Teller Award Certificate to print and present to your tellers.
    • Create a “Wall of Fame”: Showcase achievements, photos, or customer compliments for tellers.
    • Organize a Team-Building Activity: Escape room, bowling, or a potluck lunch can be a fun way to break the ice and boost morale.
    • Feature Tellers on Social Media: Share photos and stories of your tellers in action, highlighting their personalities and contributions to the bank.

By incorporating these ideas, you can create a Teller Appreciation Week that truly celebrates the hard work and dedication of your bank tellers. Remember, a little goes a long way in showing your team how much you appreciate them!
