If you get nominated for an award (for long service say), you get given the option to choose from a limited number of gifts. There are 8 different levels of gifts^1 to chose from. There is Bulova and Kitchenaid stuff in the top end, but the award levels that most employees will see are largely off-brand electronics or housewares that would be too cheap for Winners.

So here's a stupid idea. Why not instead allow a cash donation to be made to a charity^2 of the recipient's choice?

I think that would be a great way to make National PS Week and employee award a lot more meaningful and relevant.

^1 Presumably because that allows for maximizing the passive-aggressive potential of the "awards"
