CHRISTMAS is a time for giving – but with money tight for most of us this year, the way we give may have to change.
Sir Winston Churchill famously said: ‘We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give’, so giving your time, ideas and understanding may better reflect the true spirit of Christmas, especially in your working environment.
The recent ‘Friends in the Workplace Survey’ found giving to others at work is one of the most important things we can do in the office.
With almost three in five employees saying they valued giving at work more than a higher salary.
Alongside this, 54 per cent felt being appreciated by others was a key reason for them staying in their job, radically reducing staff turnover and improving workplace happiness.
