Workplace: Bosses get into Christmas spirit
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Company bosses will be playing Santa this Christmas, paying towards the office party or picking up the whole tab, according to a new survey today.
More than half of 260 organisations polled by the Institute of Management (IoM) said they planned to contribute to the festivities, with one in three paying for everything. Almost one in five firms will be paying their staff a Christmas bonus, while two out of five managers will give gifts to their workers. Just over half of the companies surveyed plan to close between Christmas and the New Year.
Roger Young, director general of the IoM, said: "Christmas is a great opportunity for all hard-working teams to celebrate success and have some seasonal fun. "Managers can use the occasion to reward the efforts of the past year and fire their people with enthusiasm for the year ahead."
