the essence

The essence of gift policy in the workplace is to regulate the acceptance or exchange of gifts, aiming to prevent conflicts of interest or favouritism. It typically outlines the types and values of acceptable gifts, procedures for

reporting and handling gifts, and consequences for policy violations. It promotes employee transparency, fairness, and ethical conduct while upholding the organisation’s reputation and integrity.
