§         When planning Holiday activities, ask employees to bring a new toy as “admittance.”

§         Encourage friendly competition between departments.

§         Give incentives for donating a new toy – jeans day; free dessert in café.

§         Urge suppliers, customers or clients to have a toy drive, too.

§         Your company may find it more fun to collect money and then set up a group shopping day for new toys.
