Tis our Christmas Eve special — and we’re diving into the stuff HR teams never forget… even when they try.
Siobhán shares anonymised “HR nightmares at Christmas” stories that range from jaw-dropping (a motorboating incident with a very questionable defence) to the painfully familiar (people passed out in toilets, tears in the loo, and the post-party investigations nobody wants).
We also get into the messy reality of workplace hookups, the risks around power dynamics and consent, what happens when partners are invited, and why “what happens at the Christmas party” very often doesn’t stay there.
Content note: This episode includes discussion of sexual harassment/misconduct scenarios, alcohol, and workplace investigations.
