Rugby World Cup 2011 is having a positive impact on New Zealand workplaces.
Nearly 50 per cent of people surveyed by recruitment company Randstad say their office is running a sweepstake.
Thirty per cent say staff celebrations are also being organised.
Randstad director Paul Robinson says a large number of businesses have decorated their workplace with flags from different countries.
"It's been a tough year, or couple of years, for people in New Zealand, especially with the number of challenges this year, and this has been a fantastic way to boost morale in offices," he says.
