At DPD we understand the significance of welcoming a new family member, and we want to celebrate this joyous occasion with our employees. To ensure a thoughtful and inclusive approach, we have established the following policy for sending baby gifts to our team members:

1. Eligibility:

All employees who welcome a new family member, either through birth or adoption, are eligible to receive a congratulatory baby gift from the company.

2. Automatic Enrollment:

Employees are automatically enrolled in the baby gift programme when they notify the People Team of their new family member's arrival. This can be done by emailing People@dpd.ie. Please provide baby’s name, date and time of birth this information will be used to personalise your new family members gift.

3. Gift Selection:

DPD will select a suitable and thoughtful gift for the new family member. Gifts may include practical items and personalised baby essentials.

4. Delivery:

The selected gift will be sent directly to the employee's home address. Please ensure that your address on People HR is up-to-date to receive the gift promptly.

5. Inclusive Approach:

We acknowledge and respect the diverse preferences and needs of our employees. If an employee prefers not to receive a gift, they may communicate this to the People Team.

6. Privacy and Confidentiality:

DPD is committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of our employees. Information regarding new family members will be handled with the utmost discretion.

7. Feedback and Suggestions:

We welcome feedback and suggestions from our employees regarding the baby gift programme. If you have ideas or preferences, please share them with the People Team.

8. Celebration and Recognition:

In addition to the gift, with the permission of the employee we may feature a brief congratulatory announcement in Out of the Box, recognising the new addition to our DPD family.

9. Consistency:

This policy will be applied consistently to ensure fairness and equality for all employees experiencing the joy of expanding their families.

10. Review and Updates:

This policy will be periodically reviewed to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. Updates may be made based on employee feedback and changing needs.

We hope that this baby gift policy contributes to the joy and sense of community within DPD. Congratulations again on your growing family, and thank you for being a valuable part of our team!
