Conflicts of Interest

For years, the tradition of exchanging small gifts in business has prevailed. However, when employees receive large gifts from vendors, it can pose a challenge. While the gesture may be appreciated, company policies often prohibit the acceptance of gifts. Regrettably, excessive gift-giving can lead to conflicts of interest, causing complications for both the employee and employer.

In this microlesson, we explain how and when to graciously say, “Thank you, but I can’t…” to vendors who give large gifts to your employees. The intentions may be good, but the gift can still be inappropriate. Your employees need to follow your company’s Gift policy, so teach them the right way to do it. The important thing here is to handle it appropriately, so employees avoid conflict of interest gifts.
