年底又到了，今年過(guò)年送什么好呢？在辦公室里大派禮物可要當(dāng)心。送禮不當(dāng)可能會(huì)使你惹禍上身。給臨桌的可愛(ài)女孩送張Victoria's Secret性感內(nèi)衣的代金卡？這可不太合適。
年終辦公室送禮小攻略Be careful when playing Santa at the office. Giving certain gifts could get you in trouble。
A Victoria's Secret gift card for the cute gal who works in the neighboring cubicle? Not appropriate。
A dictionary for the new co-worker whose misspellings on email you've had to correct? It probably won't be appreciated, says Lizzie Post, author and spokeswoman for the Emily Post Institute and great-great granddaughter of the etiquette queen。
Here are some guidelines for appropriate gift giving in the workplace:
The Boss and Colleagues
'Generally, it's not appropriate to give your boss a gift,' says Ms. Post. 'It can come with mixed messages. People worry that it seems like you are trying to buy favoritism.'
Instead, see if co-workers would like to contribute to a gift for the boss from the whole office. If you're charged with buying the gift, 'stick with office-related items or something that fits with the subject of your company's work,' says Ms. Post. Or, if your boss has a hobby or interest, such as golf, consider a gift that plays to that。
You and co-workers also can chip in to get small gifts for people working under you, like the receptionist or mailroom staff。
If you're exchanging gifts with co-workers, it's best to buy something simple for everyone in your team or group. Keep individual gift giving outside the office, suggests Ms. Post。
For the boss as well as co-workers, avoid items that are too personal -- say, perfume, scented bath products, jewelry, lingerie or other clothing. Also steer away from alcohol and tobacco products。
Gag gifts can cause problems as well. 'Not everyone translates humor the way you might' and you risk offending someone, says Jacqueline Whitmore, author of 'Business Class: Etiquette Essentials for Success at Work.' Cash is a no-no as are gifts that are too expensive. 'You're going to look like you are just trying to win favor,' she says。
You don't have to reciprocate if a co-worker gives you a gift。
Outside the Office
It's your call whether to buy gifts for clients, vendors or people you have a professional relationship with outside the office。
If your office sends out gifts to clients and vendors, there's 'no need to do something on top of that,' says Ms. Post. Write a nice card if you feel like that 'person really made your year.'
If you decide to buy gifts for clients or vendors, make sure their company guidelines allow them to accept gifts. You also should check your company's gift-giving guidelines, especially if you plan to use company funds to purchase presents。
If you attend a holiday party with colleagues in someone's home, make sure you bring a hostess gift. Leah Ingram, a gift and etiquette expert who runs giftsandetiquette.com, says that while wine is usually a popular hostess gift, it may not always be appropriate if it's a work event. A nice box of chocolates or a poinsettia plant are good options, she says。
在辦公室里大派禮物可要當(dāng)心。送禮不當(dāng)可能會(huì)使你惹禍上身。
給臨桌的可愛(ài)女孩送張Victoria's Secret性感內(nèi)衣的代金卡？這可不太合適。
給電子郵件中不時(shí)出現(xiàn)單詞拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤、讓你不得不常常糾錯(cuò)的新同事送本字典？利齊?波斯特(LizziePost)說(shuō)，這或許不會(huì)讓對(duì)方心生感激。她是禮儀女王埃米利?波斯特的曾曾孫女，也是埃米利-波斯特學(xué)院(Emily PostInstitute)的作家和發(fā)言人。
下面提供了一些工作場(chǎng)合適宜的送禮建議：
老板和同事
波斯特說(shuō)，一般來(lái)講，給老板送禮物是不合適的。這樣做可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生副作用。人們擔(dān)心這看上去好像你想討好老板一樣。
相反，看看同事是否愿意湊錢(qián)、以整個(gè)辦公室的名義給老板送個(gè)禮物。波斯特說(shuō)，如果你負(fù)責(zé)買(mǎi)禮物，要買(mǎi)與辦公有關(guān)的用品，或是符合公司工作內(nèi)容的禮物。如果你的老板有什么興趣或愛(ài)好的話，比如打高爾夫球，你還可以考慮買(mǎi)相應(yīng)的物品作為禮物。
你和同事還可以湊錢(qián)給級(jí)別比你們低的同事買(mǎi)點(diǎn)小禮物，比如前臺(tái)或收發(fā)室的人。
如果你要和同事互換禮物，最好是買(mǎi)些對(duì)你們小組或團(tuán)隊(duì)中每個(gè)人都適用的簡(jiǎn)單禮物。波斯特說(shuō)，不要在辦公室里單獨(dú)送禮物。
無(wú)論是對(duì)老板還是同事，都要避免送過(guò)于私人性的禮物，比如香水、帶香味的沐浴產(chǎn)品、珠寶、內(nèi)衣或其他衣服。此外，還要避免送煙酒。
帶有惡作劇性質(zhì)的禮物也可能會(huì)帶來(lái)問(wèn)題�！独习宀徽f(shuō)，但要你做到的事》(Business Class: Etiquette Essentials for Success at Work)一書(shū)作者杰奎琳?惠特摩爾(Jacqueline Whitmor)說(shuō)，并非每個(gè)人都會(huì)以你那樣的方式欣賞幽默，你可能會(huì)冒犯什么人�，F(xiàn)金或是過(guò)于貴重的禮物都是禁忌。她說(shuō)，這樣你看起來(lái)就好像是在努力贏得好感。
如果同事送禮物給你，你不一定要回贈(zèng)。
辦公室之外
是否要給客戶(hù)、供應(yīng)商或辦公室以外和你有業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系的人買(mǎi)禮物，這就要你自己拿主意了。
波斯特說(shuō)，如果你們辦公室給客戶(hù)或供應(yīng)商送了禮物，你就沒(méi)有必要再額外送了。如果你覺(jué)得對(duì)方在這一年里真是你的貴人，那么就送張精美的卡片。
如果你決定給客戶(hù)或供應(yīng)商買(mǎi)禮物，要確保他們的公司行為守則允許他們接受禮物。你還應(yīng)該察看自己公司的送禮規(guī)定，特別是如果你打算用公司的錢(qián)買(mǎi)禮物的話。
如果你和同事到別人家里開(kāi)節(jié)日派對(duì)，一定要給女主人帶一份禮物。禮物及禮儀專(zhuān)家、經(jīng)營(yíng)giftsandetiquette.com網(wǎng)站的李爾?英格拉姆說(shuō)，盡管葡萄酒通常是非常受歡迎的禮物，但如果是工作相關(guān)的活動(dòng)，就并不一定合適了。她說(shuō)，一盒上好的巧克力或是一株一品紅都是不錯(cuò)的選擇。
