Many organizations have swag programs. Fewer have swag systems.
Programs vs. Systems
A swag program relies on people remembering processes. A swag system embeds those processes into the workflow.
Programs work until someone leaves, teams grow, or demand increases. Systems scale.
Why Systems Matter
Systems create:
-
Consistency across teams
-
Clear ownership without extra oversight
-
Easier onboarding for HR admins
-
Fewer “how do we do this?” moments
For HR, this means less reactive work and more strategic planning.
