I've never much cared for holiday parties, but I will admit it's fun watching normally staid employees make total fools of themselves after too much eggnog at the company shindig.
The problem is that when those antics cross the line, they can spell trouble for owners like me.

rssI'm not talking about standing on tables or donning lamp-shade head gear. I'm talking about sexual harassment--everything from mild transgressions and annoyances to serious abuses. Unfortunately, too many employees see a holiday party as a "no-fault zone" for improper behavior, which can lead to all kinds of complications.
Not that harassment is solely the province of holiday parties. Some polls show that 25% of women admit to being harassed in the workplace, with more than half of those reporting emotional harassment or inappropriate touching. Alcohol-infused holiday parties just boost the odds.
