"Champagne Problems" – Hosting and surviving work social functions

Many employees are excited about upcoming Christmas parties and end of year functions. However, increasingly complex employment laws and the rise in work-related complaints are causing employers to carefully think about hosting such events.

Many employees are excited about upcoming Christmas parties and end of year functions. However, increasingly complex employment laws and the rise in work-related complaints are causing employers to carefully think about hosting such events.

While these events can be opportunities for relaxation, reflection and fun, there is still a need for employers and employees to act responsibly when planning and attending work social functions.

In this webinar our Managing Director, Athena Koelmeyer, will discuss some of the more interesting legal decisions around work social events and help employers and social committee members plan a work social event that is responsible, safe and fun for everyone who attends.

This is a must attend webinar for all HR Managers, social committee members, business owners and managers responsible for planning work social events and dealing with an aftermath littered with inappropriate behaviour and incidents.

The webinar will begin at 11.00am (AEDT) on Thursday, 9 November 2023.
