It’s the most wonderful time of the year….” But for business owners and HR professionals, the holiday season can also bring a variety of employee questions and complaints, as well as potential risk for your organization. How should you respond when employees object to Christmas celebrations? Must you also observe other religious holidays? And what happens if the champagne flows a little too freely at the annual holiday dinner?
The policies that protect your employees and your organization continue to apply at company-sponsored events, even when they are off-site and after hours. But unlike your typical workday, social events often include alcohol and lowered inhibitions. This creates risk of employer liability for drunk driving, employee injuries, and harassment claims, as well as the potential for damaging social media posts. In addition, a diverse workforce can cause concerns about holiday decorations and participation in office activities. This workshop will help you gain confidence in minimizing risk and maintaining inclusivity during your holiday celebrations.
