More often than not, having a "work life balance" means separating yourself from your smartphone when the clock strikes 5:00p! During the holiday season, however, that term takes on a new meaning; one that leaves many people teetering between "professional" and "party animal."
Corporate Holiday Parties are supposed to be events where co-workers can let loose and have fun. When approached correctly, the event is a great opportunity to celebrate the year and to learn a little more about the people that you spend 40 hours a week with! On the other hand, an open bar and a relaxed setting can be the reason that co-workers are whispering behind your back on the days following the shindig!
In an effort to avoid being placed on the "naughty" list, keep in mind these tips before walking into your Holiday Party this year:
1. Dress up.
2. Avoid arriving to the party on an empty stomach.
(Eating almonds can help keep you feel full throughout the entire event)
3. Keep alcohol consumption to a minimum.
4. Bow out gracefully if things are getting out of hand.
5. Avoid taking part in an "after party."
6. Show up the next day to work.
