Fundraising & Solicitation in the Workplace
If you are going to allow your employees to sell items for fundraising purposes, be sure to set some guidelines and then follow them.
Here are a few key steps:
- Identify when sales can and can’t occur, perhaps even where they should occur.
- Outline how employees should communicate the fundraiser to their coworkers.
- Establish that the company reserves the right to approve or deny requests to fundraise.
Setting up these parameters is a solid idea that could keep your firm out of hot water down the road. Overall, be consistent and be prepared to logically and reasonably defend your decisions.
