Holiday Messages for Your Internal Comms this Christmas

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and gratitude. It's the perfect opportunity to spread cheer and express appreciation to your hardworking employees. One effective way to communicate your holiday messages is through in office displays using digital signage, a modern and visually engaging method that captures attention in the workplace.

Digital signage allows you to display festive and inspirational holiday messages, images, and even motivational quotes in common areas, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 

As you plan your holiday internal communications, consider incorporating digital signage to amplify the impact of your messages and to spread joy. 

We even have some free templates you can use!

Motivational quotes for the workplace

Before diving into crafting your holiday messages to employees, let's start with a list of motivational quotes to inspire and uplift your employees during this holiday season. These quotes can help you ease into the festive feelings of this time of year, while also giving people a much needed boost.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work." - Steve Jobs

"Believe you can, and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs

"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." - Winston S. Churchill

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Remember: Christmas greetings are a great way to engage with your employees with happy holidays messages but they are empty unless you give it a bit of a boost. 

Remind them about their past successes, how much they achieved and the great year ahead. If you have the chance, personalize your message based on the specific person.

How to craft the perfect holiday messages to employees

If our suggestions for happy holiday wishes quite hit the mark, then we have a few tips and tricks for you that can help you craft the perfect wishes for the holiday. 

If you follow this short guide, then you will have an easy time writing each of your employees the perfect cheerful note.

Acknowledgment

Your best bet is to acknowledge the busy schedules of your employees. Your holiday greetings should include a phrase such as “we appreciate all your efforts” or “we are happy that you dedicated all of this time and energy into our company”. Make sure that they know about the impact they are making and that it is appreciated.

Short and sweet

Sometimes, the best way to send happy holidays messages for employees is simply to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". While it might not be the most thrilling message compared to some of the others on our list, sometimes keeping it simple is the best for everyone.

Best wishes to everyone don't necessarily have to be long and wordy.

Make it relevant

Some of your employees may celebrate Hanukkah, while others celebrate Christmas, this is a fact that you cannot get around, which means that you need to adapt to it. Because of this, if you have the chance, it’s best if you learn what each one of your employees celebrates.

Of course, this isn’t doable within a bigger company, which means you should go with something along the lines of “We wish you a safe holiday” or “Have a joyful holiday season!” These are both inclusive and simple.

Engage in the holiday spirit

Whether you are planning to give your Christmas greetings to people in person or in the form of holiday card messages, you should strive to be at least a little bit festive. There are plenty of ways to do this, from themed backgrounds and colors, to festive scarves and clothing. This shows that you are human too and that you are excited for the holidays as well.

People tend to think of their bosses as a little out of reach, or as someone way above them. This Christmas season is the perfect opportunity for you to show them otherwise and to get engaged. Send them your warmest wishes and wish them a very merry Christmas!

Motivate staff with festive rewards

While offering warm holiday wishes to employees is a great touch, there is another way to bring a very happy holiday gift to your office. And this is in the form of rewards, actual gifts and other tangible rewards.

Inspirational holiday messages have an extra edge when they are backed up with potential for additional rewards. As the holiday season can be hard work for some, motivating employees can be a great way to keep everyone focused in what is often the coldest and darkest month of the year.

While not every business will be able to splash the cash, it will often be appreciated that your company throws a great Christmas office party, or offers extra rewards to top performers during December.

Spreading joy with digital signage this holiday season

As the holidays roll in, take the opportunity to connect with your employees on a personal level. Use heartfelt messages, engaging digital signage, and the power of motivation to express gratitude for their hard work throughout the year.

Sending holiday messages is one of the easiest, but most effective ways to get engaged this season. Wishing you and your team a warm and wonderful holiday season filled with joy, good memories, and the promise of a fantastic year ahead.

And while you’re already in a festive mood, why not explore some options for festive marketing ideas or maybe even an advent content calendar?

These will help you make the best of the upcoming months and will lead your business towards success.

But until the year finishes, let’s put our best forward and be grateful for all we have achieved this year. Happy holiday season!
