HR Tips for Work Holiday Parties
The Holidays have arrived, and we want to remind employers that the same rules that are applied in the office are just as important at a work event, holiday party, or work-hosted function.
¨ When it comes to serving alcohol it’s best practice to remind your employee’s that it is a narrow exception of the Drug and Alcohol Policy, one way to lower the risk of overconsumption would be to hand out drink tickets or serving food and water along with the alcohol.
¨ When it comes to decorations or gift exchanges, try not to stick to just one theme or religion, there are many winter holiday celebrations and we don’t wany anyone feeling excluded for their religious beliefs. If you decide to hold a gift exchange make sure your employee’s are mindful not to get something that is inappropriate for work.
