Punk Rock HR Advice: Holiday Parties & Charity

My Punk Rock HR philosophy on holiday office parties is simple:

• I’m not a party planner. If you want a holiday party, organize it yourself. Don’t call HR.
• Please don’t turn the holiday season into a stupid team-building event.
• If you do force your employees to socialize with one another at a holiday event, make it fun & cheesy or make it classy. There is no ‘in between’ when it comes to these occasions.
