Last month we celebrated another successful National Hug Your Boss Day on Friday 13th September.
As usual we saw photos and videos of employees being spread across social media expressing their love for their bosses as well as their colleagues across the World. Most bosses show a reciprocal amount of love and enjoyment from the hugs, some cringe, some refuse. We have some cracking shots!
Thank you to everyone who shared their moments and joined in with the fun. On the serious side, we are still looking at assisting, encouraging, developing, growing and managing relationships within the workplace and especially those between colleagues and with managers or the other way around, with employees. It is so important to try to improve and nurture the environment that we work in to ensure there is excellent communication and productivity for everyone, increased motivation and morale across the workforce.
Next year, we have set the date for celebrations again which will be Friday 18th September 2020. Please stick it in the diary and be prepared to join in with us.
Photos from this year are now up on the website. We attempted to collate as many as we can.....

We have almost completed the aftermath analysis of National Hug Your Boss Day - what brilliant and far-reaching involvement we had this year. We saw mentions including pictures and videos of hugging with bosses and colleagues spanning around the Globe, from Australia to The USA, from The Phillippines to Germany and many more. It really was fantastic to see some many people having fun with the day and hopefully thinking about the serious side of it too :)
You can now see some of the pictures we managed to capture up on the website here.
If we did not publish yours and you want to see it here, please do email us and we would be glad to include your picture.
So, until next year, do remember that your working relationships are hugely important to your everyday happiness at work so please do invest some time in developing them.
