December calendars fill fast, so office holiday parties need early planning. This checklist covers the budget, venue, food, activities and the details that make the party inclusive for everyone.
When should you start planning an office holiday party?
Six to eight weeks ahead. Venues and caterers book up for December, and early invitations get more of the team to attend.
How do you make an office party inclusive?
Keep it a general end-of-year celebration, offer non-alcoholic drinks and dietary options, choose activities everyone can join, and hold it during or right after work hours when possible.
