Deterring Festive Season Work Woes Image

Silly season is typically a fun and joyous time for employees to celebrate the year that has gone by. However, the celebrations can quickly go sour when businesses do not actively prepare for any risks.

This interactive session will explain:

  • the laws around out of office behaviour and employee conduct;
  • practical tips on how to prepare staff for these events and other ways employers can mitigate risks; and
  • how to manage complaints if they arise.
