Halloween fun in the office
Nothing like a little Halloween dress up to chase those Monday morning blues away.
Many offices are allowing their employees to express their inner ghost and goblin for the season. Several companies reported even having costume contests.
Employees with HP's North America Consumer Computing business, for example, all dressed up in a Dr. Seuss theme as a way to have fun and relieve stress.
"It's a riot," says HP representative Ann Finnie. "The gals dressed as Thing One and Thing Two have been going around the office all morning throwing confetti around and being playful. Everybody is getting a kick out of it."
About one-third of all employees plan to dress up for Halloween this year, according to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey.
Halloween office parties are also very popular. Approximately 35 percent of offices sponsored their own Halloween party last year, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.
