The festive season is almost upon us, and office workers around the South West may face some disappointment in the workplace, as 28% of people are doubtful they’ll be able to get the time off work they need to enjoy the Christmas holidays.
Office supply company, Viking, surveyed 1,500 office workers to investigate one of the most contentious aspects HR departments have to face: taking time off at Christmas. It seems that the South West is the fourth meanest area of the country when it comes to granting time off for the holidays, with the North East being the stingiest.

The employment figure from July to September 2015 is up, 177,000 more people are in work than between April to June.
This is great news for the UK and the south west has one of the lowest rates of unemployment in the UK. That’s great news for our local economy.

With unique access to employees when they leave a company via exit interviews, nearly a third (30%) of HR directors identified the attraction of a better work life balance is what really drives people to switch jobs. There has been a significant change in the trend of why people seek new employment opportunities today, compared to just four years ago. In 2011, HR directors cited higher remuneration as...
