Not necessarily embarrassed for yourself but rather at the antics of some of the employees of that company. Company event planning can be rather stressful for the person or persons in charge of putting the event together. But don\u2019t despair run offer you a few do\u2019s and don\u2019ts here that will help take the pressure off your company event planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Event_Planning-the_Initial_Stages\"><\/span>Company Event Planning-the Initial Stages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the onset there were a few areas that you should address that will help get the ball rolling. Of course the number one item that you need to address is the venue (which could also encompass the theme). When selecting a venue you have to think about how easy it\u2019s going to be for everybody attending to get there. Not everyone may have a car so accessibility by public transportation should be a key factor. Also think about the day and time that you\u2019ll be hosting the event. The reason that day and time is important is that you have to consider your companies slowest time so that as many employees as possible have an opportunity to attend. This is especially true for companies that operate 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Event_Planning-Behavior\"><\/span>Company Event Planning-Behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of those embarrassing moments that we\u2019ve witnessed are a result of people\u2019s inhibitions being lowered by alcohol. Long gone are the days when people drank to the point of no return at company parties. And probably for good reason. Remember no matter what happens at the company event you will have to work with these people come the next day. If alcohol is part of the event make sure that the people serving are fully aware of your local laws and how to identify signs of intoxication. For you it\u2019s always best to consider a company event as a more subdued event. There\u2019s nothing wrong with having a few drinks and a few good laughs with colleagues and friends. An overall good time is your goal. But be aware that the line between a good time and an embarrassing time can get blurred with each drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your company event planning should encourage socialization among everyone. I hate going to corporate parties where the tables are divided by departments or by that dreaded management versus staff (I would actually like to ban the word management altogether but that\u2019s for later post). Corporate events should be a time to mingle with everybody. It\u2019s a chance for everybody in the company to get to know their colleagues a little bit better. I\u2019m not saying they have to spend 15 min. with someone that you barely know but a few moments or simple \u201chello how are you\u201d doesn\u2019t hurt and makes for good mingling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_if_youve_been_charged_with_company_event_planning_for_your_work_dont_despair_Company_events_dont_have_to_be_dreaded_Rather_with_a_few_simple_rules_or_outlining_expectations_at_the_beginning_will_give_everyone_attending_an_understanding_of_the_basics_and_help_set_the_stage_for_a_fun_event_One_that_everyone_can_rehash_and_laugh_about_at_the_water_cooler_the_next_day\"><\/span>So if you\u2019ve been charged with company event planning for your work don\u2019t despair.
