With the festive season rapidly approaching, we know that many of our clients are shortly holding their Christmas/office parties.
Here is some Christmas party etiquette designed to ensure you
navigate through the party unscathed, make the right impression and keep your dignity intact!
5 things you shouldn’t do
1. Talk shop all evening – it will bore people
2. Attempt to dance like David Brent
5. Leave the party too soon, unless you have made a complete fool of yourself
5
things you should do
1. Remember that the only reason you are
there is because you have a job – and you want to keep it3. Engage in some shameless chit chat. This is a good time to talk to a range of people and, of course, the boss. This could help you in the long term in terms of forging alliances, helping to get things done or just raising your profile
4. Drink in moderation. Remember that excessive drinking is the number one cause of office party 'incidents'.
5. Keep the conversation light and interesting, it’s Christmas and no one wants to talk about the global financial crisis or global warming!
We are always delighted to hear from you but January calls to Tamar HR can be particularly ‘lively’ following the Christmas party season. We hope you have a brilliant time at any office parties being held.
