Office Christmas party season begins

As workplaces across the UK gear up for festive celebrations, new research reveals just how common questionable behaviour is at the annual office Christmas party, with how many employees later regret it.

With almost two in three (63%) Brits in employment planning to attend a work Christmas party this year, the spotlight is firmly on how staff behave once the email stop, and the drinks begin to flow.

Research highlights how excessive drinking remains one of the most widespread issues at Christmas parties, as one in three (35%) workers see it as inappropriate, yet 4 in 10 workers have witnessed it and over a fifth (21%) admit they have overindulged themselves.
