How to Survive Your Festive Office Party
The Once – A -‐ Year potential nightmare evening! Read on for tips on how to let your hair down and enjoy the night without the fear of needing to look for a New Job for the New Year!
Confirm you are attending
Even if you would rather be at home in front of the TV, make the effort and earn brownie points with the boss.
Partners?
Are partners invited to join in the celebrations? If so, would yours be an asset or a liability? If unsure, best to attend alone.
Dress Code
Always check the venues dress code in advance. Make an impression, but for the right reasons! Revealing necklines and inappropriately short skirts are best avoided, for women and men!
Take cash with you Not every Christmas party will have a complimentary bar these days. Also ensure you have enough for
the taxi fare home if necessary.
Arrive on time Turning up half way through the meal will appear rude. Don’t attempt to attend any other events in
the same evening.....leaving early won’t go down well with the boss.
Mingle Try to speak to, and, more importantly, listen to everyone in the room at some point during the party.
Avoid talking shop all evening, but equally stay away from gossip.
Drink sensibly Ensure you pace yourself from the start. Try to alternate alcoholic drinks with glasses of water and
know your limits. Avoid mixing drinks and drinking games.
Avoid romantic liaisons It may seem like a great idea at the time, but it will appear unprofessional to others and you will have
to work with them once the party is over.
So remember these points and enjoy your office Christmas party............it’s your chance to experience your boss’s hospitality and appreciation of your work!
