Set a time and place.
A common mistake of managers is failing to organize a company Christmas/Holiday party. For many of your employees, the best part of the holidays is simply coming together as a group in a more relaxed setting and getting to know team members on a more personal level.
It’s a manager’s job to make sure the party happens. It doesn’t need to be a formal affair at night. And it certainly shouldn’t be the wild lamp-shade-on-the-head shindig you see in the movies. A simple lunch or potluck breakfast is all that is needed to bring people together and create some positive memories. And mistletoe is SO out.
