Corporate gifting is mainly done to strengthen a relationship with people, we know in person, who will enable us to grow in all aspects of our life. Many a times, we gift people just as to get a favor done from them. The point is, is this really a gift or a bribe?

The spirit of corporate gifting enables us to connect with people and make them a part of our lives. Generally, corporates gift a person because corporates feel that the person deserves a special gift and not because they require them to do us a favor. But in corporate circles, instead of wishing and congratulating clients, employees and others for being with us; many corporates tend to bribe them with a corporate gift so as to get some favors. Now this practice will have many backfiring effects as it is encouraging a corrupt practice and increasing the expectations of the person to receive a gift in order to do something for others.

Moreover, it cuts down the motivation factor into pieces and promotes bad performance.

So….

Are we doing good enough by practicing corporate gifting as a means of getting a return favor?

or is it ethical to do just that?

Please let me know your comments.

Corporate gifting is not a mere act of pleasing your employees, clients and colleagues but a way to open the doors to networking with a lot of people across the industry.

You may gift one of your colleagues and that may lead you to open the doors of a very profound relationship with that colleague which may last a lifetime. It may happen that your colleague may turn into a very good friend of your’s who will in turn help you with establishing new contacts within the industry. This way, you very profoundly establish a base for making new contacts through the art and craft of corporate gifting.

However, one must consciously take care of the things that you can ideally gift and the items that you shouldn’t. It becomes important that your gift can be useful in daily life and is long-lasting. This way, you give your self a chance for them to keep you in mind and cherish your gift for a long long time. Moreover, the gift that you choose should not be useful only in their professional lives but also beyond the professional realm.

It is essential to gift an item that touches a client’s, a colleague’s or an employees heart and counts as a contribution in aiding their personal, social and family life apart from their professional lives.

“A gift is one which mesmerizes the receiver and fills them with a smile”.

Bosses are special because they are the ones who make sure that you are always feeling good while working for them within their company. Bosses motivate each and every one around them so that they grow into highly developed human beings. And so..

Bosses do deserve something very special.

This is the reason why “Happy Bosses day” is celebrated each year on the 16th of October.

Our bosses deserve something special in appreciation of their sincere help, kind words and inspiring actions.

A celebration, a party, or even a special corporate gift that would make them realize their intrinsic value in our eyes would be an ideal choice.

Bosses are unique in their own way. Gifting a boss is very different from gifting your very own colleague who sits right next to you.

As we asked the proprietor of Classic Themes, Ms. Shilpa Shah about gifting bosses,

She said:

“A gift that makes the bosses wife happy should be given because if she is happy so is he.”

An employee must be carefully aware about the likings and dis-likings of their bosses. More crucially, bosses must not be presented with premium priced gifts that would annoy them.

Gifting a premium bouquet to your boss that is filled with fresh red roses, a well designed card and a simple box of chocolates can make your boss happier than ever.

Ultimately what matters is the relationship between the employee and his/her boss. The relationship must remain constant no matter what the situation. The spirit of well-being in the relationship must grow and the best way to make the situation better is to gift an item that would fill your bosses heart with joy.

And.. wish him.. “A HAPPY BOSSES DAY”.
