Holidays change the atmosphere, not the expectations.
Holiday celebrations can strengthen workplace relationships, but they can also create situations where good judgment is tested. The NAVEX Holiday Risk Prevention microlearning series helps employees navigate common holiday workplace risks involving gifts, business entertainment, and respectful conduct. Micro learnings include:
Holiday Risk Prevention: Gift Giving
When vendor Maritza gives Gabe a holiday card that includes a gift card, it feels like a thoughtful seasonal gesture – not a business gift. But does the holiday season change what’s appropriate to accept from a vendor?
Holiday Risk Prevention: Entertainment & Hospitality
When a snowstorm leaves vendor Marco stranded after the company holiday party, Leila wants to treat him to a festive night out – using company money. Does the holiday spirit make it the right thing to do?
Holiday Risk Prevention: Celebrating with Respect
Holiday parties can make the workplace feel less formal, leading people to joke or speak more casually than they normally would. When Tom’s comments leave a co-worker visibly uncomfortable, will he dismiss it as harmless party banter – or recognize the impact of his words?
