'Take a proper break' | HR should urge staff to make the most of the Platinum Jubilee weekend

The country is getting ready to celebrate the longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, this week on her Platinum Jubilee.

To honour the Queen and her 70-year reign, street parties will be taking place up and down the country.

And new research by HR software provider CIPHR has revealed how British workers are planning on spending their time off over the forthcoming Queen’s Jubilee bank holiday weekend.

Based on a poll of more than 1,000 people, the results suggested that most people will be taking the opportunity to rest, unwind and catch up with loved ones.
