Christmas - Socially Distanced

Justine MacArthur

Hi All

We would usually be planning our Christmas party about now and we are not looking to try to hold one this year in the same way as previous years. Getting 100+ people for a meal and drinks is likely to be still against government guidelines and also would not be the right thing to do for so many reasons. 

Our first thoughts for alternatives are gift vouchers or hampers. I was interested to hear if there are any other companies with more creative ideas please? 

Thank you!

  • Hi Justine

    I was just talking to a colleague about this today!

    We had wondered about the (Scottish) government guidelines, and that even if they were lifted enough to allow for a gathering (usually around 250 to 300 people), our site is in a small town in the Scottish Borders and we were concerned about the reputational damage it could to do us as an employer in terms of being seen as 'reckless'.

    I like the idea of offering some sort of alternative - perhaps each manager could be given a budget to take their teams out (though I appreciate people with larger teams may still not be withing government guidance)?
