When you give a gift to an active employee, the gesture blends in with the other things they receive from the company (salary, benefits, training, recognition). It is perceived as part of the package.
When you give a gift to a former employee, the contrast is total. Their current company knows nothing about their birth. Their former company does, and tells them with a personalized physical object. The contrast is striking: "my current company doesn’t know about my life milestones; my former company does".

Why this gesture weighs more than a "let's stay in touch" on LinkedIn
Surprise by contrast
The former employee expects nothing. The gesture breaks the mental pattern of "I'm no longer useful."
Activate word-of-mouth
The former employee shares it with colleagues and future professionals in their industry. Free branding of extremely high value.
Enable the return conversation
Open a channel for a "come back whenever you want" conversation. The real boomerang starts with these gestures.
Marginal cost vs. hiring cost
Set each gift’s budget based on its contents and current total. There is no fixed programme rate or guaranteed retention return.
Frequently asked questions
How do we identify when an alumni has a child if they are no longer on staff?
Three channels: LinkedIn (announces the birth), manager/team-mate network that keeps in touch, or formal "alumni network" program if the company has it activated. Most B2B accounts use LinkedIn as a signal.
Isn’t it invasive to send a gift to someone who no longer works with us?

What average budget do companies assign to alumni vs. active employees?
Set each gift’s budget based on its contents and current total. There is no fixed programme rate or guaranteed retention return.
Do you also work with offboarding programs (gift when leaving, not for birth)?
Yes, we make personalized farewell gifts. But offboarding due to birth (1-3 years after leaving) usually has more impact than the farewell gift (immediate and expected).
How is an alumni program invoiced with occasional and non-recurring cases?
