The holidays are the perfect time for colleagues to reunite and
celebrate work achievements. While an annual holiday party is a
great way to come together and have a good time, especially after
almost three years of social distancing, we know that holiday
parties can cause employers additional stress, as they inevitably
lead to an increase in reports of inappropriate or harassing
behavior and policy violations. The question then becomes, how can
an employer ensure that employees have fun at their holiday party,
without any lines being crossed?
As a result, before putting on your dancing shoes, we recommend
employers ensure the following:
1. Make sure the party is inclusive
If you want to maximize employee attendance and a sense of
belonging among employees, it is important to make the holiday
party convenient and inclusive for all. Not only should the time
and location be as convenient as possible for the majority of your
employees, based upon their work
