Steve – Great point. Be personal, and make a real impact on folks! Thanks for sharing that!

Scot – Phenomenal point! You ARE still at work so if you wouldn’t do it at your cube, why would you do it at the office party?

My rule is that a holiday party is no different then being at the beginning of a meeting in a large conference room at work and having a business meeting. It is not a party, although it is more social than a business meeting. What you would do before a meeting with people governs the behavior and conversation. Yeah, it’s boring. But safe.

I agree with Steve on talking about more personal stuff, but if you are at a business function, you are on the clock.

Phil, if people follow those guidelines, they’ll be a lot happier–and still employed–in the morning!

Here’s one more to think about: Topic of Conversation.

Why spend time at the office party talking about business? This is a chance to be a person and not a role–and if you are single and really do think Sally is pretty cute, she already knows what you do for a living. Why not find out more about what people enjoy when they’re not on the clock?
