The Evolving Office Holiday Party
This week, many workplaces will be hosting holiday parties, but the year-end events aren’t what they used to be. From serving less alcohol to changing when and where the events will be held, many workplace events are becoming more toned-down affairs. A Human Resources expert tells us why.
Is your workplace having a holiday party this year? Will alcohol be served or limited? Tell us if you’ve seen workplace parties change over the years.
