Holiday overachievers

Here are some tips for employers and employees as we celebrate the holiday season at work:

Enjoying some fun time together is great, but do so in a way that benefits all involved.

If you decide to drink (as many do), take steps to prevent overindulging. Ask a trusted friend or colleague to nudge you if you are going over the line. Offer to do the same for them.

Employers, consider offering to pay for car service, such as Uber or Lyft, for your party guests. It is a wise investment.

What is posted on social media can be hard to completely erase later. Turn your phone off if you can’t help yourself, and enjoy the moment without distraction.

That said, holiday parties can be fun. We love them. But with liability issues growing every day, I have to wonder: Are these parties really the best way to enjoy end-of-the-year recognition?
