Office Party Tips
Friday, December 01, 2006
Deena Waisberg, from the Financial Post, gave 10 tips on how to make
the most out of office parties:
- Show up.
- Meet the high ranking members of the organization (this is your
opportunity).
- Circulate in the crowd and mingle with people (don't chase the
boss...).
- Keep your conversations light and not work-related.
- Make contact, but avoid trying to "close deals."
- Be sensitive to other cultures (i.e. replace "Merry Christmas"
by "Happy Holidays").
- Dress appropriately.
- Eat and drink moderately.
- Avoid any incidents that will make people "remember" you.
- Exit gracefully by approaching the people you met and bid them
farewell.
- Last but not least, make safety a priority.

A German court ruled that employees that attend an office party
are working until the supervisor leaves. The case dealt with a
situation where an employee was injured during an office party.
The company (an insurance company by the way) refused to
compensate the employee for his injuries, but the court ruled
that since the injuries were sustained while at work, the
company had to pay disability to the man.
