It’s the season for office Christmas parties, and Pinoys know what that means — raffle time! We’re sure companies will go down the route of reliable raffle prizes that are a hit every year, such as spa appointments, roundtrip plane tickets, and appliances. But what if they upped the ante and thought outside the box? Here are ideas for office raffle prizes that would have every Pinoy scrambling to win.

1. Vacation leave credits

Skip the restaurant and cafe gift certificates and give people what they want — a few days of extra vacation leave credits. Now this is a raffle prize that would make any employee reshare all the chain messages on social media in case it would help them win.

2. Converting sick leaves to cash

While some companies have this perk for their employees, others don’t. Unused sick leaves are both a blessing and a curse — you never know what to feel about them. But if they’re convertible to cash, that would make a lot of difference.

3. Pro office chair

Regular office chairs are ancient artifacts passed down from generation to generation of tired employees. We’re willing to bet yours even has a stained seat cushion caused by who knows what. Raffling off a fresh, brand-new ergonomic chair that could rival their CEO’s chair would have employees praying to the office gods for a win.

4. Parking space

Folks who work in central business districts know the daily struggle of looking for somewhere to park and paying a hefty parking fee at the end of the day. Winning a free slot in the building would be a life-changing, monumental event for anyone. Bonus if it’s a free parking space for a whole year. Employee retention? Up the charts!

5. Streaming sites subscription

With the way new paid streaming sites are cropping up every year, it’s definitely a struggle for a person with multiple interests sans a fat wallet. Raffling off one-year subscriptions to Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, or even YouTube Premium would make a world of difference.

6. Work-from-home pass

With the insane levels of traffic, rising PUV fares, and skyrocketing gas prices, going to the office is quite the challenge these days. Employees don’t want a free dinner at a hotel, they want a work-from-home card they can use whenever they feel like not going to the office.

7. A “Get Out of Jail” card

Raffle off a pass any employee can use to get out of any work-related task or obligation, within reason. Whoever is awarded this prize will get a pass and bragging rights, for sure.

8. A nap pass

When the clock strikes 1 PM, everyone’s guilty of drooping eyelids. While modern companies who value the importance of rest have exclusive “nap pods” for their employees, most don’t. Raffling off a nap pass — complete with a nap blanket — would earn any company instant cool points.
