It is official, National Hug Your Boss Day is confirmed for Friday, 22nd August 2014.
National Hug Your Boss Day was created in August 2008 by TipTopJob.com. It was created in order to promote the awareness of relationships between managers and employees and between colleagues. In a nutshell, we believe that if you are someone who gets on with your boss, then you will be more motivated and productive at work.
We want to promote good working relationships in the workplace as at the end of the day, you spend most of your waking life at work. If you are someone who gets on with your boss and colleagues then you are going to be far happier at work than those who do not. We want to offer advice to those who do not have these healthy relationships as we believe it is vital to a company’s success.
Over the years, we have conducted much research and asked hundreds of questions about hugging your boss, relationships with bosses/colleagues and more to come up with some interesting findings.
This year we want to raise the awareness of employee relations within companies who have staff who do not work in the same office whether it is being located in different offices across the Country or World and only communicate via email, intranet, MSN, Skype and telephone. We want to find out if this situation changes how you feel about your boss and if it fundamentally changes your drive and motivation.
Our website allows you to play a game to find out who your boss is, take a test to find out how good your relationship is with your boss, check out “hugging” pictures of companies who already support the day and read serious articles about motivation at work for both the employer and employee.
We celebrate on National Hug Your Boss Day by asking everyone to take pictures or videos of “hugging” your boss and uploading them to the Facebook page or emailing them in to
marketing@tiptopjob.com. To take part that is all we ask….
This year we are running a competition to find the BEST boss. Let us know why your boss so GREAT? We will be sending out a bottle of champagne to the BEST BOSS of 2014. We want to hear your reasons so get in touch with Corinne on
coz@tiptopjob.com and tell us why your boss should WIN!!!!!
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.
