‘Tis the season to be jolly, but when it comes to work dos it’s important to get it right. The office party is an excellent opportunity to not only celebrate the festive season but also to craft career-building relationships with those you meet. Amy Klingel, division director at OfficeTeam, recommends getting to know people on a social level but avoid talking shop. “In addition,” she said, “you can also attend industry events or instigate gatherings with clients and your team. Consider all invitations, as you never know who else might be there. And remember, it’s not always about attending the biggest parties, as more intimate occasions are often some of the best networking opportunities.”
