OK, you got through the year. Your bosses are murmuring warm words of appreciation, and there’s rumour of a New Year promotion in the pipeline coming your way. So…. what could go wrong? Ah… there’s the office Christmas party: the time of year when HR panic at the nightmarish prospect of the entire workforce letting its collective hair down, fuelled by free booze, snogging under the mistletoe and singing Slade’s ‘It’s Chrrrrriiiiiissssstttttmaasssssssss!!’ But does it really need to end in excruciating embarrassment or disciplinary action?
This year, get ahead of the game with a pre-emptive strike. Say thanks to the team around you who helped to make it an exceptional year; you’ve stuck together through thick and thin, you’ve delivered amazing results with tight budgets and even tighter deadlines.
And remember this, just in case you are tempted to photocopy your best features and share those with the whole company, a photocopier is not just for Xmas: it’s for everyone else to use during the 3-year term of the leasing contract!
