Why corporate gifting usually goes wrong
Most corporate gifting falls into one of two traps. Either someone on HR is stuck with a spreadsheet of birthdays trying to remember to order things on time, or a vendor sends generic swag — branded mugs, power banks, water bottles — that nobody wanted. Both feel obligatory rather than thoughtful.
The result: a real budget gets spent, and nobody actually feels appreciated. The gift becomes a reminder that you're an employee, not that you're a person.
