[YOUGotaGift](https://giftcard.news/company/yougotagift/) puts that seasonal work at the centre of a July 30, 2026 article featuring its HappyYOU Summer Star card. The company recommends acknowledging those contributions when they happen instead of waiting for an annual award or anniversary. Its examples include people stepping in for colleagues and maintaining projects while other team members are away. The article cites Gallup and Workhuman research reporting that meaningfully recognized employees were 45% less likely to leave their jobs over a two-year period. YOUGotaGift uses that finding to support its argument for timely recognition; it is not presented as a measured result of the Summer Star card. The HappyYOU Summer Star card provides a selection of brands for recipients to choose from. YOUGotaGift says businesses can send personalized eGift cards through @Work to recognize either an individual employee or a whole team. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Summer Stars at Work: Recognize the People Keeping Your Business Moving](https://yougotagift.com/business/summer-stars-at-work-recognize-the-people-keeping-your-business-moving/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — yougotagift.com ## In this article ### Companies * [YOUGotaGift](https://giftcard.news/company/yougotagift/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fyougotagift-introduces-happyyou-summer-star-card-for-seasonal-employee-r-bd787960311e%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=YOUGotaGift%20Features%20HappyYOU%20Summer%20Star%20for%20Employee%20Recognition "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fyougotagift-introduces-happyyou-summer-star-card-for-seasonal-employee-r-bd787960311e%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=YOUGotaGift%20Features%20HappyYOU%20Summer%20Star%20for%20Employee%20Recognition%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fyougotagift-introduces-happyyou-summer-star-card-for-seasonal-employee-r-bd787960311e%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Maya Bennett](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/maya-bennett-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Maya Bennett](https://giftcard.news/author/maya-bennett/) Journalist — Rewards & Loyalty Maya Bennett covers customer loyalty, employee rewards and incentive programmes for Gift Card News.
