Season’s Graftings

With many employers cutting back on workplace festivities this Christmas, seasonal cheer may be in short supply in Britain’s offices.

Given that staff may end up having to do more themselves this year, we’ve redeveloped our online secret Santa tool, to make it easier to arrange low price gift giving amongst your colleagues. You tell us your colleagues’ names and addresses and it will do the rest, pairing people up with someone, but keeping it all hush hush as to who bought what for who.

Give it a go now at www.worksmart.org.uk/santa – It’s a fun, inexpensive way of keeping the Christmas spirit alive in workplaces that might not have had much to smile about recently.

You can also use our online greetings cards to send a personal Christmas message to friends and colleagues. You’ll find a selection of Christmas themed cards in our ecards section.

And to help those at work over the festive break, we’ve put together a guide to the pitfalls of working through Christmas and the New Year. Banned from sticking up tinsel, or worried you’ll have to work through Christmas lunch? We’ve got answers for your festive problems.

And of course, all of us at workSMART want to wish all our users a very happy Christmas and a great start to the working year in 2009.
