Tips for the Festive Season

We are coming into the festive season, and with that, comes the responsibility for the health and safety of ourselves and our staff.

We need to be mindful of the effects of alcohol during the festive season and if being consumed at work-related functions, the impact this could have on the individual, the manager and the organisation.

Here are some tips to help you during this period.

1. Enjoy yourself, but remember to conduct yourself professionally. Someone will remember what you do or say on Monday.
2. Even though you may have an opportunity to “blow off steam” remember it is still a company function and you will need to face everyone again.
3. Dress appropriately - ensure you know the dress code and make an impression by dressing with style and good taste.
4. Ensure you behave appropriately. Harassment is still an issue at company functions.
5. Make sure you know how you are getting home. Getting stuck in a city is never fun.

Finally, ensure you have a good time, remain positive and festive and take care of your teammates.
