While we may be socially distanced, it’s important to remain socially connected. Feeling engaged with and connected to others can improve your physical and mental health.
What is Social Connectedness?
Social connectedness, Stanford Medicine says, is the subjective experience of feeling close to and a sense of belongingness with others. Feeling socially connected has huge benefits for both your physical and mental health, both of which are critical during these turbulent times.
The Stanford team says lack of social connection is a greater detriment to health than obesity, smoking and high blood pressure. But a strong social connection strengthens your immune system, can help you recover from disease faster and may even lengthen your life. The best news is you don’t have to be physically close to someone to be socially close to someone. Social connectedness is internal, Stanford’s researchers say. It has to do with your feeling of social connection.
Building Social Connection
We may not be in offices, gathering in meeting rooms and huddling at conferences, but you can still show the people most important to your business that they are not alone and are socially connected to each other and to your business.
Full Press is building specially designed Appreciation Packages to help you build stronger relationships with your employees, customers, business prospects and anyone else that might need a little love during this pandemic. We’ve designed several packages of branded goods, or our specialists can help you design a fully customized box to suit your needs.
Appreciation Packages to Fit Every Situation
Not everyone has a great home office space – it might be your dining room table, a folding table or even an ironing board (hey, it makes a great standing desk, right?). Our Tech/Work from Home package offers up some great tech solutions for someone suddenly working from home. It starts with a branded hat for those sudden videoconferences. Next, mobile power cables and a portable charger in a handy cinch pouch that can be packed away at the end of the day, along with a highlighter so you don’t miss a single idea. A branded tumbler for coffee, a bottle of precious hand sanitizer, and a cube Bluetooth speaker round out the box.
We’ve never been through something like this before, and stress and anxiety are running high. That’s bad for you and your immune system. Keep everyone feeling happy and healthy with the Take Care of Yourself package. It includes a mug for a relaxing cuppa, a soothing scented candle and aroma putty, a cozy sweatshirt blanket and a cool gel mask. And, of course, a hand sanitizer.
The Home Office box helps someone outfit their home office space, even if it is an ironing board. We’ve got an office buddy cube, stationery set, a tumbler for the all-important coffee, a mouse pad, a notebook-pen combo for those great ideas and, of course, a hand sanitizer.
If none of those look right for your team, don’t worry. Our specialists can create a perfect appreciation package from thousands of products for your crew – no matter where they are –
that will leave them feeling loved and connected. We pack our boxes with plenty of love and maybe a few surprises, too. Just give us a call at (850) 222-1003 or email info@fullpressapparel.com and get ready to send some smiles.
