It is that time year for company parties and year-end sales events, events that our readers spend lots of money and time planning and putting together to show their employees how much they appreciate their hard work and recognize their top performers.
Unfortunately, many employees will be faced with that famous question the next morning, Hey, did you see that guy or girl last night at the company event? That question can elicit many answers such as, Oh yeah, everybody did when he got on the microphone and slurred profanity for everybody to hear." Or, Did you see that girl? She drank so much; she was saying all kinds of inappropriate things to her boss.
In his latest article, Enjoy the Party, Don't be the Party! Prepare Employees for Holiday Parties, sales coach Nathan Jamail offers a few basic guidelines for bosses to pass along to employees that ensuring everyone has a good time and behaves appropriately.
Here are Jamail's employee guidelines:
