Who Handles Employee Gifts in Your Company: HR or Someone Else?

Hi HRs, I need the below information:

Responsibility for Employee Gifts

1. Who is responsible for taking care of 'taking orders for employees' gifts and getting it done? For example, in companies, projects often provide gifts like jackets, bags, etc. Will HR personnel be responsible for obtaining the items from suppliers (outside dealers) or someone else?

Kindly let me know the required details.

Thanks,
Asha Mohan

Coordinating properly and completing tasks are the responsibilities of the HR department as they are related to employees' welfare. However, negotiating with suppliers, purchasing, and managing the supply chain are the responsibilities of the Admin Executive in your company. You should oversee the entire process continuously. If there is no one in the Admin department, then it becomes the whole HR department's responsibility.

Hope this information is helpful!

It is the responsibility of HR/Admin, along with the procurement department/employee.

In any case, this falls under staff welfare, so HR should take responsibility for getting this done. If you have the purchasing department, it would be better if you could coordinate with them.
