Shared Christmas Parties Gaining Popularity in 2010
With economic difficulties and the worry that no will attend the corporate Christmas party from the office this year; many businesses are turning to shared Christmas parties. An economic alternative to the private Christmas party, the shared Christmas party is gaining reputation as the ‘new' party to be at this Christmas.
Over the last few years, shared Christmas parties have increased in popularity as they make not only economic sense, but business sense too. A company could put a tremendous amount of effort and resources into an exclusive Christmas party, but it still could end up with a low attendance, making it not as worthwhile as a Shared Christmas party.
A shared Christmas party offers further advantages, as they are hot spot for mixing with new colleagues and other companies, improving business and working relationships locally. Moreover, high up and lower down staff are more likely to mix as they attend one single shared party, rather than have separate parties based on ranking and hierarchy. This encourages inter-company relations and a less hierarchal system, which helps to open up and improve communication between staff.
It makes sense that as people have less time on their hands and less money to attend a shared Christmas party. However, there are a few disadvantages of shared Christmas parties; for instance, you do not have as much in the way of decisions over your shared Christmas party. A shared Christmas party essentially is a package and you cannot have sway over the party decisions, like you would if was an exclusive bespoke Christmas party.
Yet, many Christmas party planners are staring to involve customers, clients and the public in the decision making process by using competitions as an incentive to get involved. You not only get the chance to win a prize, from a bottle of champagne to a table for your staff at a Christmas party, you get to have more sway over the decisions made. It's ideal as you get to suggest ideas for your ideal Christmas party but still reap all the benefits of a shared Christmas party.
The shared Christmas party offers a great number of advantages for businesses and their employees and that is why it is bound to continue to be successful in 2010.
