With many employers having been hit hard by the full force of the recession during 2009, it is a distinct possibility that the traditional workplace Christmas party could have fallen victim to enforced spending cutbacks for many employers. IRS is conducting a short, confidential survey to investigate how employers are preparing for Christmas this year in light of the recession. Take part in the survey - which closes at the end of today (Monday 16 November 2009) to receive a free copy as soon as it is published.
Our 2008 benchmarking survey of Christmas found that last year more employers than ever were planning to host or participate in some kind of Christmas party (subscription required).
In 2008, more than four in five organisations (86.2%) said they were planning to hold either a party and/or a team/departmental meal. This was up from just over three in four two years earlier (76.8% in 2006).
