What are the best ways to make a Christmas Party inclusive?
When planning your Office Christmas Party, consider these 5 things to help keep it fun and inclusive:
- Location: remote working is here to stay, so some of your teammates may not be in the same city let alone the same country as you. If you are going to invite your team to one location, consider financing their travel and any accomodation costs. Be considerate to the impact travel may have on your colleagues' commitments at home: from childcare, to parental care, to pooch care! And where travel isn't possible, why not consider a hybrid event? Your teams can get together at their local offices, or a local venue, and you can dial remote workers in digitally to participate too.
- Occassion: in multi-cultural teams, it's good to be mindful of what religious and cultural occassions your colleagues may celebrate (or choose not to celebrate). A good way to keep your get-together inclusive, is to focus on the people, not the occassion, by celebrating the individuals' or teams' accomplishments. Alternatively, why not theme your Party around the season, e.g. your Winter party.
- Food & Drink: being generous with your catering will help give a celebratory feel, but consider your team's religious, cultural, and nutritional restrictions. It is also worth being mindful of food-related anxieties that may be present in your team. With that in mind, it can be helpful to not anchor your festive party specifically around food, or alcohol, and instead offer an enriching activitiy, or range of activities.
- Experiences: enriching experiences can really bring your team together. Consider inclusive experiences that will capture your team's interest, even if some may be absolute beginners. Focus on activities that are restorative, fun, and perhaps non-competitive (there's enough of that at the office!)
- Accessibility: for in person parties, consider the accessibility of your chosen venue. Does it have appropriate wheelchair access? Does it have appropriate washroom facilities, considerate of gender identities within your team? Will all members of your team feel safe travelling there and back?
