The Credit Grinch

You would have to be living on planet mars if you don’t know about the credit crunch and the horror and destruction it is leaving in its path.

Companies are battening down the hatches, whips are making their way onto the sales floors, and no doubt a hoard of tinned food is being stored in the director’s office.

It appears, more often now, that the poor unsuspecting Christmas party is falling victim to the mean and merciless monster that is the Credit Grinch, but then we would say that wouldn’t we?

Companies need to draw a line under all the worry and stress this is causing your staff members and nothing underlines a year like a good Christmas knees up.

You don’t have to break open the piggy banks or pawn the staplers for the Christmas party budget.  A perfectly acceptable Christmas party can cost from £30 a head and in London from as little as £40 a head.

It’s a small price to pay for allowing your staff to let off steam and get ready for 2010 and the last thing you need is for them to be talking about is how they didn’t get their Christmas party.

Even the hardest of shareholders cant deny your hard pressed staff a wee drink or two at the end of this year.
