5 <strong>Things</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Ensure</strong> <strong>That</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> <strong>Party</strong> <strong>Is</strong><br />

<strong>Successful</strong><br />

Yeah, it’s true! <strong>Christmas</strong> is just a few days away and thus the <strong>Christmas</strong> party<br />

season is going to begin. Whether your organisation's <strong>Christmas</strong> night is arranged<br />

or in the arranging stage, let’s take a look at these 5 tips for HR Managers that will<br />

help them to organise the best party of the season.<br />

1. Try Not <strong>To</strong> Make It Mandatory<br />

Great participation is clearly the key for a good work night out, however by<br />

making an office party mandatory there is probably going to be a significantly<br />

more sceptical demeanour at the night. No doubt, you wish loads of individuals to<br />

be in the party, you likewise need individuals who really want to be there and<br />

there are different approaches to urge employees to attend, instead of making<br />

the night mandatory.<br />

2. Friday <strong>Is</strong> The Best Night <strong>To</strong> <strong>Party</strong><br />

As a Human Resource expert, I can say that the area of concern is not the night of<br />

the party, but the next of the party. If there’s a workday after the party night,<br />

then there are various disciplinary issues and absences, which lead to lost work<br />

time. However, you can get rid of these issues easily, by organising the party on a<br />

Friday night as next morning will be the start of the weekend and the entire<br />

hangover and other absence issues will not be your problem.


3. Don’t Forget <strong>To</strong> Invite Everybody<br />

This tip may sound obvious and an easy, yet it is one of the most crucial parts that<br />

need to be considered while making arrangements for an office <strong>Christmas</strong><br />

gathering. In big companies, it can be difficult to remember to send invitations to<br />

everybody for the gathering, yet it is crucial to ensure that the HR office doesn't<br />

forget anyone.<br />

Keep in mind that not everybody in the organisation may have a work email<br />

address. Don’t forget about those employees who are working in another city as<br />

they may be visiting their homes for the <strong>Christmas</strong> season. Keep in mind the<br />

interns, those on sick or maternity leave. Simply ensure you invite everybody!<br />

4. Food Must Be Delicious<br />

No matter when and how you organise the office <strong>Christmas</strong> party, one of the<br />

most important things to include is some food items. Good food will attract more<br />

guests and your party will be quite successful. If the party is in the evening of the<br />

last working day before the holiday begins, then some food items become more<br />

important than ever.<br />

5. Avoid Work Talk During the <strong>Party</strong><br />

Clearly, a large number of employees will talk about work issues on the night of<br />

the office party as work is one the major thing they have in common. <strong>That</strong>’s<br />

reasonable, but HR managers should avoid such conversation because you might<br />

end up promising something to the employee on behalf of the company. So<br />

better stay away from nonsense conversations.<br />
