The rise of the vegan workplace: How corporate rewards are shifting to meet lifestyle choices

Designing team rewards has shifted from an off the cuff gesture to potential minefield with the variety of dietary restrictions HR has to accommodate for. Modern workplaces are incredibly diverse, and dietary preferences are no longer a niche consideration. As more employees adopt plant-based lifestyles, corporate gifts are changing to ensure no team member is excluded or worse, offended!
Why dietary inclusivity is the new standard
When managing company gifting, the last thing you want is for an employee to open a reward box only to find they cannot eat any of the items inside. Sending a hamper containing dairy, honey or gelatine to a vegan team member instantly misses the mark. It shows a lack of attention to detail, whereas providing thoughtful, dietary-appropriate alternatives demonstrates genuine appreciation.
Choosing the right vegan corporate gifts
Providing plant-based rewards does not mean compromising on appeal or variety. There is an excellent range of delicious choices that feel just as indulgent as traditional contents.
- Premium Vegan Manufacturers: We pride ourselves on carefully selecting as many ‘dietary friendly’ suppliers as possible – and you can rest assured that we taste test everything that we feature in our hampers to make absolutely sure they taste delicious! Our preferred vegan produce suppliers include Candy Kittens, Creative Nature, Gnaw Chocolate, Lazy Day, Lottie Shaw’s, Ma Baker, Moo Free, Nomo, Miller’s Harvest, nibnibs, Olly’s, Popcorn Shed, Riverbank Bakery, Rowntree’s, Skittles, and Swizzels.
