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 />
