This year, Christmas day (25 December) falls on a Sunday. Public sector organisations are more than twice as likely to be partially open on Christmas day than those in the private sector.These are among the findings of the XpertHR Benchmarking survey on Christmas and New Year working arrangements for 2011/2012 (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required).
The survey reveals the following (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required to access each link):
- Across all sectors, one organisation in 40 is open on Christmas day, while one in 10 is partially open.
- Interestingly, 7.1% of retail sector respondents will be open on Christmas day. Exactly half of retailers (50%) will be open or partially open on Boxing Day (Monday 26 December 2011).
- Across all sectors, four-fifths of respondents will be closed on New Year's Day (Sunday 1 January 2012). However, one in five retailers will be open that day.
Subscribers to XpertHR benchmarking can drill down into the complete findings of this survey, and create their own bespoke reports.
The survey is based on responses from 242 organisations with a combined workforce of 853,471 employees.
