The Christmas party is the time to celebrate. No matter how bad the year has been or the financial slump has affected the working of the business people still find a reason to party on Christmas. Most of the business houses hold a Christmas party to boost their employee’s morale and to associate well with them. The toast raised in the Christmas parties is with an intention to give a boost to the employees and encourage them to perform even better in the coming year. It also a time to eulogize the employee’s performance in the past year
The Christmas party speeches given by the employers are options to encourage the employee’s morale. So if you are an employer who has recruited some good quality staff you shouldn't be reluctant to give them a feast on this grand day. The ceremony should begin or end with your speech that has an everlasting and positive impact on the employees.
Here we guide you through the tricks of giving a party like a boss and help you make a good impression on your juniors and subordinates.
Your speech should be encouraging and it shouldn't have a negative tone. You must not whine about the targets that couldn't be achieved during the year. You do need to talk about the issues and their solutions but the main tone of the entire Christmas speech should be positive, encouraging and full of words like “Thanks for the excellent work done” and “Merry Christmas”.
An Optimistic Prologue:
The employees are in a good mood and you surely don’t want to play spoilsport. The possible venue can be the conference room of the company or any outside venue and the time can be a chilling evening. You will see your employees - everyone well dressed holding glasses of wine and chattering with each other.
As a host it is your responsibility to welcome all your guests. Further compliment everyone for their dresses and appearance.
Reflect the Year that has ended:
While keeping the festive mood high you need to concede about the year that has passed by. Mention about the major events of the year – the projects and contracts won and lost, discuss about the joining of new employees and also do remember the employees who no longer work with you. But overall be positive. Don’t criticize any one nor do go in a detailed description of the year.
End on a High Note:
This moment can be properly utilized by boosting the morale of your employees. Congratulate the good performers and acknowledge their working and also enhance the confidence of the underdogs. The speech can be concluded by revealing some surprise factor about the party. In the end congratulate everyone for the New Year and finally raise the toast.
