We've noticed a few interesting articles over the past few weeks on the holiday party tradition, mainly how giant, over-the-top parties that were once a fixture on year-end calendars have changed dramatically due to a still shaky economy and tighter spending restrictions. Nowadays, while companies are not canceling events like they were a few years ago during the height of the recession (that's good news!), most have scaled back on glamorous events and instead are opting to host something realistic in size and scope - like a potluck lunch, after-hours party at the office, or spending a few hours volunteering at a local charity or hospital.
What is your company doing to celebrate the holidays?
