		<description><![CDATA[Having an office or works Christmas party this week? If so, what’s the company policy and what is regarded as acceptable behaviour?
Research by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, (CIPD) quoted in The Guardian’s Workblog,  suggests 10% of workers know of a colleague who has either been disciplined or dismissed for inappropriate behaviour at [...]]]></description>
