XpertHR’s new model statement to employees in advance of a Christmas party or similar work-related event provides a succinct reminder that can be sent to employees covering sensible issues such as alcohol consumption, travelling safely to and from the venue, acceptable standards of behaviour, harassment, and coming in to work the next day. As well as the template, we also provide some detailed guidance on the law relating to the document.

Employers may also find our policy on work-related social events [subscription required] and top 10 tips for a successful work Christmas party useful. Look out as well for our December topic of the week series on employment issues that arise over the Christmas period.
