Undressing
Britain's workers are dressing down. One employee in two - equivalent to 13.5 million workers - is no longer required to wear "business dress" - the equivalent of the suit and tie for male workers. This is one of the results of a survey commissioned by Inside UK Enterprise (a Department of Trade and Industry scheme to encourage British companies to share and communicate their best practice techniques with others through site visits to endorsed host organisations). The survey also shows that clocking on and off is a thing of the past, with only 16 per cent of all companies requiring it; three in five organisations help employees to combat work-related stress, offering benefits from rest and relaxation rooms to free massage sessions.
