Bontique for your company. The all-in-one platform for appreciation management.

Valued employees are satisfied employees

We spend a large part of our time at work every day. It is not new that employees are the gold of the company – their knowledge, their identification with the employer as well as their motivation to do their best every day are essential for the company’s business success. Given that, what is the next logical step?

Do whatever it takes to make your employees feel satisfied, valued and challenged in their role. These days, simple compensation is no longer enough to retain employees. The pandemic has set many new standards and demands from employees, such as flexible working hours. In short, employees want to be a valued individual.

Appreciation must happen throughout the year, positive signals must be sent regularly. Therefore, create space for fun, joy and recognition and make your workplace a place where your employees feel comfortable and valued.

If you have a high turnover in your company and it often feels like employees are slipping out of your hands, show your appreciation. This is how you transform your employees into long-term, loyal companions who are on fire for the company’s mission.

Our e-book about appreciation will highlight these issues. We will also give you more information about the five languages of appreciation and further guidelines to improve your company culture on a long-term and sustainable basis.

You can learn the languages of appreciation as you learn any other language. Or you simply ask us. Bontique has been speaking the languages of appreciation for almost ten years. With our simple and intuitive platform, we help you to increase your appreciation culture. We preserve your company’s signature and maximise the individualisation of your employees. We are convinced that employees are a company’s greatest asset, which is why they should be valued. With the Bontique Checks, you can therefore say thank you in an individual and customised way – for a company anniversary, a birthday or a successful product launch.

Whether adventure or relaxation, enjoyment or sustainability, the Bontique Checks are full of possibilities and adapt to the individual needs and wishes of your employees. Choose from offers from more than 60 partners. While you benefit from a high degree of flexibility in your appreciation management, your employees enjoy true moments of happiness.

Become an appreciator now and take your corporate culture to the next level.
