employers. If there are cracks in the structure, a Christmas party cannot cover
over them.

positive reason for talking to people, its a festive time of the year. so make sure you enjoy yourself make the most of it!

rapport. As everyones favourite thing to talk about, is themselves.

powers that be. You’ll find communicating easier when you have a purpose, think of the party as a opportunity rather than a chore.

and procedures still apply, dont get over strict though let them have a bit of fun!

occur which might be fuelled by excess during the festive season.

Company’s top customer could cost you your job! dont forget your still at work.

alcohol. Provide plenty of soft drinks, too for non-alchoholics.
