Holiday Ham? Christmas Cash? New Survey from The HON Company
Reveals How Companies Handle Gift Giving at the Holidays
MUSCATINE, Iowa (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 2, 2008 --
Turkeys and hams and fruit baskets, oh my! With Christmas just around
the corner, many employers may be scrambling to determine the perfect
gift to give their employees. Does your employer resemble Ebeneezer
Scrooge or Oprah when it comes to gift giving? One company was drawn to
ask… just what do today’s companies offer employees at the holidays?
The answer to this question is revealed in a consumer survey conducted
by The HON Company, a leading designer and manufacturer of office
furniture. The online poll of more than 830 adults nationwide pulls back
the ribbons and bows to uncover just how generous (or not so generous)
employers are at the holidays.
Christmas Cash Tops the List
According to the survey, most companies (54 percent) offer a cash bonus
at the holidays. Twenty two percent offer a gift certificate, and nearly
20 percent put supper on the table – with five percent offering a
holiday ham, four percent giving a turkey and nine percent providing
other food items (i.e. fruit baskets).
Yet, while nearly 75 percent of employers do provide some sort of
holiday incentive, a surprising 24 percent follow in the steps of Mr.
Scrooge and don’t give any gift at all.
And what about the surveyer itself… just what does The HON Company offer
its employees at the holidays? For more than 60 years, HON has given out
a holiday ham. In fact, in 2009, HON will provide more than 4,000 hams
to its employees around the country.
