Christmas Party Shenanigans: How to prevent things from getting out of hand and how to handle the fallout if they do

Date | Friday 06 December 2024, 8am – 9am (with pastries and fruit served from 7.45am)

Venue | In person – BAL Lawyers, Canberra House, Level 9/40 Marcus Clarke Street, Canberra 

Presenter | Sarah Ozanne, Senior Associate, Employment Law & Investigations

Cost | Complimentary

The workplace Christmas party is a longstanding Australian tradition. However, in the modern environment, they can be fraught with danger for employers, with WHS issues and problematic employee behaviour (and whether that behaviour constitutes conduct related to their employment) rearing their ugly heads. Senior Associate Sarah Ozanne will present a review of the key issues for employers in preparing for and hosting the workplace Christmas party and provide guidance on how to manage any problems that arise during or following the event.
