Have you considered the possibility of having your company holiday party in January While this may sound unusual, more and more businesses are choosing to hold off on their hosting duties until after Christmas and New Years have passed.

There are many benefits to be had by following this trend –

• For many companies and organizations, fourth-quarter earnings are crucial to the company’s bottom line and there is simply not enough time to plan or execute such an event.
• Employees are more stressed out during the holidays, not only from work but also on a personal level between having to shop, plan vacations and family get-togethers. There simply is just not enough time. While holiday parties are a great time, everyone could use some breathing room in December.
• January parties are more inclusive for those who may not celebrate Christmas.
• It is a great way to kick off the New Year by thanking employees for a job well done. There is no better motivation or way to get employees charged for the year to come then by singing their praises.
• Finding dates in January for venues and entertainment is considerably easier than during the height of the holiday season.
• In January, venues will likely be less expensive and you can also save money on food and beverages.

No matter the specifics of your company culture, the opportunity for team members to meet and mingle with people they don’t normally get to talk to is one of the biggest benefits of the holiday party.   A Philly Casino Party does just that!
