80% truthful when it comes to their CV/Resume

Our recent survey has found that 80% had never told a white lie on their CV or Resume.

Our interest in such a question was sparked by a recent story about students being threatened with jail for embellishing their CVs. According to CIFAS, the UK fraud prevention service, 324 people were actually prosecuted in 2013 for fraudulent applications.

The survey unfortunately exposes 20% who are still admitting to lying. This may relate to a “white” lie, for example, better A level grades or improved job titles or indeed something else more sinister like creating a whole new job role.

Have you lied? Do you know someone who has lied? What was it about? Let us know….

Thank you

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who got involved in National Hug Your Boss Day last Friday.

Photos will be uploaded to the website soon enough and the winner of the "BEST BOSS" competition will be announced this week.

Friday was a great success - we had thousands of pictures uploaded and sent in. We heard Kiss 100 FM having fun with National Hug Your Boss Day and we were interviewed on BBC World Service.

It really does show that a lot of bosses are liked, to the extent of employees enjoying a hug with them....

Only 3% use fans in offices to cool them down

55% of offices are using air conditioning in the hot weather to cool off their employees. 42% open up their windows and only 3% use fans.

Air conditioning, on the downside, blows any lingering colds and bugs around and can spread illness but it is definitely the best option to quickly cooling down a hot and stuffy office. By an afternoon, fans and windows just do not cut it.

Do any of you have disagreements within the office about how cold it gets using air-conditioning? In our experience, those sitting by the air-conditioning always get freezing cold and those sitting further away from it, don’t see the benefits. Sometimes, people are never happy are they?!?

Americans LOVE their boss

 In our recent survey asking “How would you rate your love for your boss?” across the Globe, we found that it was The Americans who loved their boss the most in comparison to any other Continent including Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.
 
71% of Americans said that they “loved him/her” in their response when only 33% responded in the same way across Europe. In Europe, 49% said they thought “he/she is ok – they are just a boss” keeping it quite reserved.
 
Employees across Australasia were the most indifferent with everyone returning the “he/she is ok – they are just a boss” option.
 
It was those across The Middle East that had the highest response to the more bleak option of “Cannot stand him/her” with 27%. 44% responded to the middle of the road answer so it was not all bad!
 
No one responded in quite such a grim way in Asia - 20% said they “Love him/her”.
 
Overall, the survey was quite a positive one in terms of how employees feel about their boss with 35% actually saying that they “Love him/her”. 46% were middle of the road by selecting “he/she is ok – they are just a boss” which left only 19% who really did not like their boss and selected the “Cannot stand him/her” option.
 
With National Hug Your Boss Day fast approaching, how would you answer this question? What is it that you love about your boss? Or on the other hand what is it that you dislike? Let us know....
 
Do not forget to send your pictures into us at marketing@tiptopjob.com of HUGS at work or upload them directly to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Hug-Your-Boss-Day/217675401587682
