Say no to Scrooge - sort out your office Secret Santa online

As employers cut back on festive activities, the TUC has today launched an online Secret Santa generator to help keep the Christmas spirit alive at work.

Itís common practice in many offices for staff to agree to buy each other presents secretly, so that no one knows which of their colleagues bought the present they received. This year, instead of putting everyoneís name in a hat, the organiser can visit www.workSMART.org.uk the TUCís working life website, and enter the email addresses of everyone taking part. The Secret Santa generator will then email each colleague telling them who to buy a secret present for.

TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber, said:

Staff should say no to Scrooge bosses who are trying to cut back on Christmas at work. Our Secret Santa is a handy way of making sure one important part of the office festivities doesnít become a thing of Christmas past.
