62% of the reserved UK workforce say they wont be sending a co-worker a Valentines Day card on Friday.
Over the last 2 weeks, we surveyed around 500 people to ask them if they were going to send a Valentines Day card or present to a co-worker or boss. There always seems to be some “fancying” going on in the office so we wanted to know if people take it to the next step and show their love openly or secretly to that special person. This survey suggests most people don't!
38% however say that they would send a card or present which is still quite a healthy proportion of people. Watch out on Friday as you could be that special person!!!!!
With National Hug Your Boss Day fast approaching, it has been reported this year that 46% think it is NEVER acceptable to hug their boss.
A recent study conducted by TipTopJob went on to find that only 5% would hug their boss when their boss praised them, 15% would hug their boss on “hello” or “goodbye” but 19% would when they got a promotion.
National Hug Your Boss Day is being held on Friday 23rd August 2013. The day was launched back in 2008 to promote workplace relationships and highlight the importance of getting along with your boss/manager.
A secondary survey asked individuals if they were a “pro” or “anti” hugger. Corinne Hutchinson, comments, “A massive 73% said they were a “pro” hugger. So, given this huge figure, we are asking people to get hugging, get snapping and submit their photos online on our Facebook page. There is a competition running for the best hug this year.”
National Hug Your Boss Day was created by TipTopJob.com, an online Job Board with over 400,000 live jobs across the world. Please contact us for more information coz@tiptopjob.com.
