😉 Greetings to my regular and new readers! Friends, are you going to a corporate party? By following corporate etiquette, you will avoid embarrassing situations and build self-respect. You will not be excruciatingly hurt for your behavior at the party.
How to behave at a corporate party
First, you shouldn’t bring your husband or wife to a corporate party. After all, this is not just a holiday, but a party of your team in order to communicate better with colleagues.
I remember the evening of meeting with my classmates, with whom we have not seen for ten years. One of the classmates came to the meeting with his wife, who was more than active. She was the only one who spoke and was in the spotlight, and her classmates were never able to communicate. Memories of this evening were unpleasant.
A corporate event is not a reason to behave with colleagues as with close friends and relatives: hug them, kiss them. They will not understand you and think that you have drunk a lot.
In general, your behavior at a corporate event should be careful. After all, one evening can destroy the reputation you have built over the years. Don’t relax too much! Not all coworkers are close friends.
To be or not to be?
Be a must! To be absent from a party that management throws to build a team is to oppose yourself to the team. If you don’t want to be at the party, find a very good reason.
Dress code
There is no dress code for a corporate party. Appearance requirements depend on the location of the corporate party. Restaurant, cafe or office space. In any case, excessive frankness of outfits is not welcome.
No vulgar makeup! You can’t dress too brightly or luxuriously. But it is also not worth looking like you just broke away from work and ran to the holiday. Everything should be simple, elegant and tasteful.
Do not discuss business matters!
Two topics are prohibited: salary increases and career growth! Many people make mistakes and fall for it. It seems, why not discuss these topics with the boss in an informal setting? Be above that, no need to beg! Everyone came to have fun, not to solve professional problems.
Be careful with alcohol!
A corporate party is not a student drunkenness, here you have to stay with the face of a worthy employee. We must not forget that you are at an official event, albeit in an informal style. Alcohol unties the tongue and rips off the touch of good breeding from those who did not control themselves in this. More on alcohol intoxication.
Nobody forces you to drink! It is quite enough to sip your drink at such events. Drinking workers are not liked in any collective. If you cannot control yourself on alcohol intake, then it is better to refuse a corporate party.
It will be better than giving up your career! Drinking drinks together is not a reason for familiarity.
No flirting!
Stay a woman, allow yourself to be courted, have fun, dance with your male colleagues. But you can’t make eyes and hang on someone. If you violate the limits of decency, then the next day the most incredible rumors will go around you, and extremely unpleasant ones.
Coming-out
Coming to a corporate event more than 15 minutes late and later than the bosses is tantamount to a demonstrative confession of disrespect. Leaving the evening before the leadership is also considered bad form.
But the bosses do not sit for a long time either. Maximum – two hours is enough to spend time with subordinates. After that, it is customary to leave, and the team is left to “come off”.
How often do you organize corporate events in your organization?
Corporate parties should not be held too often, they must remain a holiday, otherwise they will lose their charm and exclusivity, become something commonplace. Two or three times a year, not more often. Have fun and relax, but remember the rules of corporate etiquette!
