Conduct | Biggest work Christmas party NIGHTMARES revealed

As the year draws to a close, it isn’t uncommon for employers and HR departments to put on a festive work party to reward employees for their hard efforts and to allow them to socialise with work colleagues.

Yet, due to the current coronavirus crisis, many end-of-year work parties are not going ahead this year. This, according to data, could be a blessing in disguise for many HR departments who would usually be tasked with dealing with the office party fallout.

In fact, statistics from Cartridge People have unearthed some of the shocking things that UK workers typically get up to at the annual Christmas party.

For example, almost 40% of employees have admitted to embarrassing themselves on the dancefloor in front of colleagues, while 27% have had to leave the annual Xmas knees-up early because they have drunk too much.
