Business is going strong, but fewer U.S. companies are celebrating with holiday parties this year.
This may be the result of the #MeToo movement, which has highlighted sexual harassment and assault in the workplace, according to a survey released Tuesday by consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
