Top Tips for a Risk Free (and potentially fun free) Xmas Party
- Remind employees that the office party is no time for fun
- Tell them again you’re serious about not having fun – circulate anti-harassment policy before event
- To make sure its really joyless, invite spouses
- Ban anatomically correct chocolate – it may invite a sexual harassment suit
- Kill the slow dance music – enhances grope opportunities. Many think safer still is to ban all dancing.
- Snip the mistletoe
- Unplug the zerox machine – if possible avoid liability and do not have a photocopier within 5 miles for the temptation to photocopy ones body parts is hard to resist
