Company Christmas Party

Christmas is here again, and with it come a slew of company holiday parties. Although these parties are used to improve morale there is evidence to suggest that managers and companies need to protect themselves from damage that may result from said party. This damage is usually caused by drinking too much.

Managers must take the role of chaperone rather than guest at the party. They must take the initiative to tell employees when they've had enough to drink. This action can prevent drunk driving, sexual harassment, and other detremental things from happening.

This is just another example of a society of people that enjoys blaming others for their own actions and expects a cash settlement in the process. Taking responsibility is a lost art and insurance companies and attorneys are bringing in the cash because of it.

Earlier in class, we discussed motivation. A yearly Christmas party is a good reward for employees. Thus, to help motivate employees it is a good idea for employers to hold such a party.
