Secret Santa: should gift-giving rules be in place?

Despite the issues a few rogue gifts may cause, the majority of employers are reluctant to stop Secret Santa.

If we’re going with it, let’s be clear following the nice and safe rule. If in doubt, spell it out…

Gift-giving rules

  • Secret Santa should be optional and open to all
  • A maximum spend limit should be set
  • Clear guidance on what not to give should be given
  • Gifts should be appropriate for the workplace – if you have to ask someone, your gift is probably not appropriate
