How to Have a Good Christmas Party
It's nearly Christmas and with only a few more days left untill the big day,
the company Christmas parties are in full swing and this weekend sees the
ultimate and busiest weekend of the events year calendar.
Christmas
parties have been in the news a lot recently with articles on how to survive the
company Christmas party, and various stories on the radio and internet about
parties being cancelled due to the fear that businesses have
of being sued.
Only this week saw news coverage of a story amid allegations of inproper
behavoiur at a uk premiership players Christmas party.
In fact it has been shown that fifty
percent of all parties finish with colleagues fighting, one in three with
incidents of sexual harassment, and
one in five with accidents involving
employees. The trouble is that health %26 safety rules (which are designed to
help protect event organisers and
managers) are becoming an excuse not to
have a party.
As a party organiser I'm all for ensuring that an event is
safe and fun for everyone but to risk assess the mince pies and Christmas
decorations, as has been suggested, I think it's going a bit to far! So what can
you do to help make the Christmas party a safer place?
The first step is
to set a 'Party Policy' which will outline the dos and don'ts for any of the
attendees. The truth is that the party can be seen as an extension of the
working day, and it should therefore be treated as such. It could be as easy as
sending an invite with the rules of conduct printed on the back, to include
ehavioural guidelines so that everyone knows what
is acceptable and what
isn't.
Although we have talked about the dangers of mince pies and
streamers, as with any event or business activity it is important to identify
the
potential risks. You should collect together the risk assessments and
method statements from the venue, and any other supplier, and if you are looking
to hold the event in a temporary marquee, then you should consult with a
specialist in this area.
Another area of concern is the provision of
alcohol. As the organiser, you should provide soft drinks as well as alcohol,
and you should be aware that you could be responsible for any actions or
accidents that take place as a
result of you providing the drinks. I would
never recommend a free bar (I've seen this go wrong too many times) and you
should take the esponsibility of telling people to take it easy if they look
like they have had enough.
One area that should be discouraged is the
infamous Christmas party fling - this could lead to embarrassment and put a
strain on work relationships when everyone gets back to work. Employers should
make sure all employees are
informed of the company's view on workplace
relationships and reminded ahead
of the party.
If you are working
with a company on their Christmas party you can help them by working with them to
ensure the event is safe and enjoyed by all. You can also help to protect
yourself by thinking about the areas that could go wrong and working with the
venue and other suppliers to ensure that everything is covered.
