As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, several companies and organizations had to implement a virtual work strategy for their workers' safety. The distant revolution has finally arrived in full force, and this pandemic only demonstrated that it could be done.

Unfortunately, in times of lockdowns and quarantines, remote workers face additional difficulties such as social isolation and the sense of being cut off from the rest of the team. This is why it is more important than ever to show gratitude for employees who work from home in order to combat the loneliness and separation that may result from such a situation. These people put up enormous hours, and it's been a trying year for all of them, too.

Consider giving away some self-care kit for your employees when you're searching for a more creative approach to express your appreciation than just sending a card. A well-planned employee care package has the capacity to make your team members feel as distinctive and unique as they really are, making them feel appreciated and valued.

Here are some self-care kit ideas that you must include in your surprised special parcel for your team:

1. Webcam cover

Zoom meetings, video calls, and even conference call bingo are so on-trend these days because of the remote working setup of most companies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And since your employee's cameras are placed in areas such as their living room, kitchen, bedroom, or workplace, cybercriminals have easy access to their personal information. A webcam cover or a custom branded laptop sleeve may help keep your remote employees safe online, which is why it's a smart idea to include in your home care package ideas or tech lovers box.

2. Lip Balm

Spending too many hours sitting in front of your computer sometimes makes your employees forget to moisturize their lips, especially when they have too much workload! In order to keep their lips from becoming too dry and chapping, you can give them a quality lip balm by including this on their self-care kit. I will not just prevent their lips from chapping but also protects them from the changing climate-- no matter how dry and cold the weather is outside. You can also include an emery board in addition to this skincare package.

3. Do Not Disturb Sign

Working from home can indeed be a challenge, especially if your employee is living with their family. The household can be too noisy or chaotic at times. If you've ever wished that your colleagues could have more peace in their professional space, you can include a Do Not Disturb Sign on their self-care kit.

With the constant interruptions of people entering and exiting their work area at home, it's easy to lose their concentration and be sucked out of a productive mindset. So this item is definitely a must for a more efficient working space at home.

4. Healthy Snacks

Contrary to popular belief, snacks may be a vital element of a healthy diet, despite their "poor reputation." It's possible that these can give your colleagues a boost in the midst of the day or during an intense workload completion. Between meals, a nutritious snack can also help them to reduce their appetite and prevent them from overeating at mealtime.

Some of the healthy snacks that you should include in the package are:

Chickpeas
Nuts
Dark chocolates
Oats
Popcorns

5. Pants or Pajamas Decision Coin

Since we are just working from home, our work outfit becomes a little layback these days. We don't have to wear a full-on formal suit or dress during our working hours at home. Saying this, you can add some fun into your team's self-care kit by adding pants or pajamas decision coin.

Yep. Sometimes, even we are already working from home, it's still difficult to decide whether to wear pants or pajamas while working. This decision coin can save your colleagues a couple of minutes from deciding which one to put for their bottom wear.

6. Facial roller

Adding a face roller to your colleagues' self-care kit can help them keep things moving along in the right direction. Especially in terms of skincare, it is known that this jade or rose quartz-encrusted tool can help alleviate facial irritation and puffiness.

There are other benefits that your colleagues can have in using a facial roller, in addition to the fact that it feels wonderful on their skin. Using it can also:

Improves lymphatic flow and drainage
Improves blood flow, perfect for their long hours sitting in front of the computer
Reduces puffiness for those overtime nights due to heavy workload
Reduces inflammation
Cools and soothes skin
Provides relaxation
Reduces stress
Distributes skincare ingredients more evenly

7. Scrunchies

We all know how uncomfortable the summer season is in the Philippines. It's so hot and humid that sometimes we need to take a bath three times a day. For your colleagues that have long hair, giving them scrunchies is a life-saver, especially if they are having their busy working day. Some say that scrunchies are better than normal ponytails since they don't cause hair breakage. Also, they don't leave kinks on your hair because of the extra layer of fabric the scrunchies have—avoiding a bad hair day for your colleagues. It's also less likely to cause headaches which is really helpful, especially for the long working hours that you have in a day. And most importantly, they are harder to lose and easy to find, making them one of the best items to include on your self-care kit package.

Avoiding burnout when you are working remotely is a bit challenging. But this pandemic proves to us that it is also tough to travel to your workplace whenever you suddenly need to report to the office. At this time, you might be wishing that you live close to your office so you can easily go there whenever you need to.
