Office Secret Santa’s. Excitement didn’t surge, did it? Unless you work at Klick Health. Klick Health’s Secret Santa gave its workers exactly what would make them happy. The company knew what that was because it asked them.
Watch how it all came about:
The festive, surprise-and-delight idea was inspired by the company’s Klicksters, who, for years have been responding to fun, random questions on the #Klick-Happy Slack channel. It also sheds light on how the pandemic prompted the company to use the popular office tool for both productivity and positivity focusing on brightening people’s workdays and keeping them connected. The video also shows viewers Klick’s New York, Philadelphia, and Toronto offices, and into people’s home offices on Zoom, to bring the Slack posts to life.
The Secret Santa surprises included:
- A family trip to Disney World
- Tickets for the whole family to Back to the Future The Musical on Broadway
- Race-car-driving and skydiving experiences
- A barbecue chef to cater a family gathering
- Box seats at an NBA game
- A movie-prop-quality lightsaber
- A trip to England with tickets to a Liverpool F.C. match
- French lessons
- A trip to Greece
“We started our #Klick-Happy channel in keeping with our culture and to help our team get through a really challenging time in the world, and we love how it’s become a daily ritual for Klicksters,” stated chief people officer, Glenn Zujew. “And since our annual holiday video always stars our people, offers a glimpse into our culture, and is all about making people smile, we set out to make this year’s video the happiest one, yet.”
Chief creative officer, Rich Levy, added, “When we combed through the thousands of posts in the channel, we saw so much joy, optimism, and creativity that we knew we had to tell this holiday story. We also knew producing the video would involve a ton of coordination, covert operations, and confetti, but it was all worth it. We hope it makes everyone smile and inspires them to give others happy surprises, too.”
Klick’s holiday videos receive millions of views each year with themes of kindness, empathy, and creativity. In 2021, the company gave hundreds of its team members each a $100 bill with the simple directive to use it to “#SpreadJoy” and its 2019 “Kindness is Contagious” video won a Webby Award.
The Klick Happy Slack channel, which now has 1,000 Klickster members, was created during the pandemic to brighten people’s workdays and keep them connected. It turned the productivity tool into a positivity tool.
To spread even more happiness this holiday season, Klick is contributing to Make-A-Wish to support children with critical illnesses.
