With the struggling economy, many companies will be looking for ways to cut spending this Christmas.
You might be surprised to learn however, that the tradition of holding holiday office parties was born in the Great Depression — a time when nobody had any money.
Employers realized that many of their workers could not afford a night out, so they started giving them one as a thank you for all their hard work.
To keep up with this tradition, joint office holiday parties have become a popular way to celebrate the season in style, without the expense of renting a private room and catering, entertainment and decorations.
Instead of creating a party from scratch, companies are getting resourceful and joining parties already set up for them.
Such a joint party is ideal for small companies who want to have a big-party atmosphere at a fraction of the cost.
Joining a multi-company office party also provides networking opportunities for businesses wanting to grow, or for those individuals wanting to meet new people.
This year, the Fairmont Hamilton Princess will be once again be hosting its Snow Ball Party, on December 9, 7pm-1am, in the Harbourview Ballroom.
For $68 per person, plus 17 per cent gratuities, guests can feast on a gourmet dinner and enjoy festive décor, entertainment and party favours.
Appreciation
“The Snow Ball Party provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the holiday season with your co-workers, blow off some steam and provide that well-deserved appreciation for employees,” said Rehanna Palumbo, director of sales and marketing for the hotel.
“It’s such a fun event where people from across the island get dressed up and dance the night away.”
The hotel also offers overnight stays from $149.
