Having a good party for Christmas or the New Year at your office is very specific. But there may be some holiday workplace issues that may arise with these. Now, xTimesheet guides you through the process of how you’ll be able to navigate through them and what are the things you should keep in mind during this time. Without further ado, let’s get going!
Provide safe rides: After every party, make sure you keep safety in mind as an employer or the party organizer. Especially for women, when it becomes late at night, don’t let them go alone or book a cab. Instead, keep a handy car or two of them to drop your employees at their home safe and secured.
Limit the allowance of alcohol: Parties mean that people chill and indulge in some alcohol. But it would help if you always kept the limits in your hand. Don’t let a good party get ruined by someone drinking too much.
Keep Flexibility: In many companies, it so happens that the management and the HR keep most of the days of the holiday assigned to the employees to celebrate at the office. Don’t do so! Keep enough space for your employees to attend family celebrations and even kids’ school programs.
Reduce Workload: In the holiday season, keep the workload less and flexible so that there’s a chilled-out vibe in the office, rather than an up-tight situation of deadlines and meetings. In this way, employees can talk and spend some time together in a good holiday spirit.
Appreciate Employee contribution: Everybody loves appreciation. You may coordinate with the HR Team during this holiday season and organize a special employee contribution day. The Employer picks out the work that was/is best for a particular employee and congratulates them.
Rethink the Traditional party: Office parties always have a traditional process. Rethink those arenas and think of something happening and something that everyone will enjoy. Don’t host a conventional office party; instead, include some dress codes or themes to make it slightly different.
The Holiday season is the time of the year when everyone is in a festive mood. People laugh, talk, eat, and merry for this time of the year. I hope these ideas will help you sort out your office party or celebration in a good way. xTimesheet wishes you a happy holiday season!
