Plan Ahead for Company Holiday Parties

by

Company holiday parties celebrate the year’s accomplishments and help employees bond, but inappropriate behavior or accidents from excessive drinking can lead to colorful water-cooler stories and land employers in legal trouble.

If the spiced eggnog is a must at your company’s holiday event, follow these tips to reduce your legal liability:

– Serve food and plenty of non-alcoholic beverages.

– Avoid an open bar. Consider a drink-ticket system or cash bar instead.

– Hire professional bartenders who know when someone has overindulged.

– Host your event on a weeknight.

– Arrange for designated drivers or reduced fares for cabs, Uber or Lyft.
