Arranging your work Christmas party gives everyone something to look forward to. Yes, we are fully aware it is still October, but have you booked your Christmas party yet? Here are a few tips from HR to help ensure your party goes without a hitch:

Challenger end-of-the-year survey results on #holiday parties featured in The Wall Street Journal article by Anne Marie Chaker. "A November poll of more than 200 companies found 64% were planning gatherings this year, up from 57% in 2022, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the outplacement firm that conducts the annual survey. The revelry appears more measured, however. Companies polled said they were cutting back on catering and alcohol, and favored their own premises rather than costly event space." https://bit.ly/478WyZm #retentionstrategies #morale #workplace #workplaceculture #workplaceculturematters #holidayparty #holidayseason #holidayseason2023 #leadership #survey #surveyresults #dataanalytics #hr #hrcommunity #hrexecutive #ChallengerSurvey

Festive Season – What we call “Silly Season” in the workplace. #sillyseason #workplacebehaviour #communication #strategies #endofyear #happyemployees #happyemployers As the year-end approaches, workplaces often experience what's known as the "Silly Season." This time of year combines holiday festivities and work-related challenges. Workplaces are being decorated, and we exchange greetings and participate in enjoyable activities to celebrate the festive season. However, conflicting employee expectations regarding time off, bonuses, and celebrations can create misunderstandings and discontent. Employers face numerous challenges during the festive holidays, to ensure a positive experience for everyone during these times. Communication is crucial, and employers should clearly communicate their operational expectations to their employees during the holidays. Celebrating the holidays in an inclusive manner that respects everyone's traditions is crucial within any organization. Employees must strategize during festive times to maintain a happy and productive work environment, by organizing their work schedules to meet deadlines, informing management ahead of time about their holiday plans and time off, respecting everyone's different backgrounds and beliefs, and taking care of themselves by exercising and resting when needed. • Professionalism and respect in the workplace are of utmost importance. Unfortunately, excessive drinking at office holiday parties can lead to unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour such as harassment and offensive comments.  • Be mindful of the gifts you give and avoid giving anything that could make your colleagues uncomfortable. Remember, harassment, bullying, and discrimination in the workplace are never acceptable, even during the festive season. • Maintain effective communication during this time to prevent disruptions in work schedules and maintain high productivity levels. Employees should avoid taking unapproved time off or misusing company resources for personal reasons without informing their employers.  • Gossip and spreading rumours can harm workplace relationships, so it's best to avoid such activities. • The holiday season may involve different cultural and religious traditions, so it's important to be sensitive and respectful of your colleagues' diverse backgrounds.  • Avoid getting distracted by online shopping or excessive social media use, which can affect productivity and concentration.  • Some employees may struggle to meet deadlines or complete tasks efficiently because of distractions during the holiday season, therefore time management and self-discipline are crucial during the holiday season. By being inclusive and respectful, balancing holiday festivities with work responsibilities, and creating a friendly and positive atmosphere, employers can set the stage for a successful year ahead.
