My pennies worth: My husband has a business where his staff are exposed to extremes of temperature and at this time of year he buys everyone extra thermals, fleece jackets and additional thick socks, insulated hats and gloves. This is regardless of what they were given last year. Although it does cost a bit he can claim some of the cost back through taxes and finds that it creates such good will and a cheerful workforce that it's worth every penny spent!
