With the holiday season among us, so is your year-end work party. These festive get-togethers can be a great way for the entire company to celebrate the accomplishments of the last 12 months. While these parties are planned to be fun, they also can be a potential source of HR violations. Are you prepared?

In today’s special episode of HR Break Room®, Caleb talks with the director of SHRM’s Illinois State Council, Dave Ryan, about the dos and don’ts organizations can implement to ensure all attendees have a wonderful and safe time. In this talk, they discuss:

  • how HR can create a work environment that is festive and casual, yet also professional
  • the best way to enforce a dress code and other policies
  • the responsibility of HR to monitor and address the inclusion of alcohol
