We have now completed research for the 2018-19 report and it will be interesting to see some of the emerging trends when comparing year-on-year results. We will publish the report through News On Line when it becomes available later in the year.
Please take a moment, if you haven’t already, to answer our current festive quick poll (to the right of this, and every, news item).

75% of employers like to thank workers with a Christmas Reward 22 November 2018
The CIPP’s latest festive quick poll has revealed that three quarters of respondents who provide a Christmas Reward to their staff, do so to say thank you.
The poll showed that 45% of respondents (67) do not provide any kind of Christmas reward (bah humbug some might say) but of the 55% who do provide a Reward, 75% do this to say thank you to their staff.
12% of those who responded provide a festive Reward for no other reason that it is just expected, however 10% hope their Reward will help to engage their workforce and 4% hope to inspire them.
As with any of our poll results, we have to bear in mind that it is only a snapshot in time, from a certain number of people, from unknown industries as the poll is in an unrestricted area of our website. However, the results certainly indicate that most employers use their Christmas Reward to convey a positive message.

Half of employers cover the full cost of Xmas party 29 November 2018
The CIPP’s latest festive poll reveals that nearly half of employers cover the full cost of a staff Christmas party, with nearly a fifth contributing in part.
However, the poll also revealed that a third pay nothing at all. Bah humbug some might say but we don’t know the reasons behind these responses.
We ran the poll for 1 week and received 284 responses.
Cost is always going to be the major factor that an employer must consider. It could be that staff have had a pay rise which they value over a festive work celebration, or there could be an alternative seasonal gift that is offered.
Which brings us neatly to our new poll asking what will you be expecting from your employer this Christmas? So, if you haven’t already, please do take a moment to answer our current festive quick poll (to the right of this, and every, news item). Please do bear in mind that our polls are just a snapshot in time, a one question quick poll which does limit the responses and does not cater for follow up; however, results can help provide an indication of a trend at a certain time or identify areas that may be of issue.
