I know that up to this time, a lot of call centers are still celebrating their Post Christmas / Year End party. So let me share some tips so you can make the most out of your holiday party.
1.) Register to confirm your attendance.
Whether you’ll attend or not make sure to let the registration committee know about it.
2.) Ask for options if you’ll change your mind.
Will you need to pay as a walk-in attendee? If that is one of the consequence then it’s better to know it ahead of time.
3.) Get your ticket and keep it until you hand it over to the registration committee (on the venue itself).
Most of the call center parties have raffle activities in between performances. Make sure to keep the portion of the ticket to present if you win in the raffle.
4.) Bring your IDs for proper identification.
It’s better not to take too much time waiting for a supervisor or a team mate to vouch for you. Make sure to bring your company ID or any government issued ID.
5.) Check out the theme.
You don’t want to wear a gown if you’re going to an open field party right? Nuff said.

6.) Inquire about the ‘ride’.
It will be both convenient and safe for you if your company will have their own service vehicle. If not, then you can join one or two of your colleagues as you go to the venue and/or to the office. You can also split the fare and talk about the fun party afterwards.
7.) Say no to allergic reaction.
Allergic to smoke, liquor and some food? Bring that pill inside your pouch if you need to pop one.
8.) If you’re going to take calls after the party, don’t drink alcohol.
Yes. A simple rule that’s violated by some. Don’t think that you can easily get away with that violation. Better be safe than sorry.
9.) Enjoy the party while it lasts.
Eat, dance and laugh if you want to. Just make sure that if its a company sponsored event, you still need to adhere to the rules of conduct. I believe this is self-explanatory.
10.) Add one to this list.
I know that I only covered some, I wanted to know some tips that I missed so other readers can also benefit from your tips.
