Four years ago nationwide lockdowns sparked a revolution in how and where we work. Millions of employees were forced into fully remote working for the first time and even as restrictions were lifted many employers maintained their ultra-flexible office-attendance policies. Today, however, business leaders are becoming increasingly insistent that their staff show some face in the office.

Advertising on broadcast television is expensive. A 30-second nationwide slot during peak hours on ITV, for instance, can cost almost £30,000. Peak-time ads on Channel 4 are priced between £9,000 and £21,000. And, although advertising outside peak times or on channels with smaller viewerships is far more affordable – a 30-second ‘breakfast’ slot on C4 can cost as little as £500 – brands seeking a wide audience can easily spend several hundred thousand pounds on a month-long TV ad campaign.

As we approach the Christmas season, many employers will be organising parties for their employees. It’s an excellent time to collectively celebrate the year passed and build camaraderie in an informal, festive environment. It’s also a time when senior leaders will need to consider how chummy they’ll allow themselves to be with more junior members of the organisation.
