To create dialogue and awareness around drinking culture in the workplace, we have created “The Party”, an innovative and interactive course on work parties. The course is designed as a chat story where the participants themselves must make choices. The aim is to generate reflection on actual dilemmas you may encounter in real life.
Parties are an important part of the working environment. Being able to meet socially in a non-work setting has a positive effect, giving people the opportunity to build relationships and create a culture. At the same time, many companies experience challenges related to alcohol, expectations and boundaries. Two in three employees feel uncertain about what is expected of them during social gatherings in the workplace. Fearing to detract from the positive aspects of a party, many managers are hesitant to talk about limits and expectations. To create a healthy party and alcohol culture in the workplace, it is important to generate awareness about alcohol, parties and work.
“The Party” is a course aimed at all employees in the company. Through an interactive story, you get to know different characters and follow them through the days before, during and after an office party. When you send and receive messages and short video clips, you are forced to reflect on your own attitudes, workplace culture and how mixing work with partying can be perceived by those around you. The experience is intended to trigger a discussion and conversation about the issue. Using statistics from the course, companies can generate a dialogue about the kind of culture you want to have and what your company policy should be.
This is a course that can be taken on a mobile phone, without needing a special app. It can also be taken on a computer. You can use whatever device you prefer.
The story itself takes about 30 minutes to complete and can be spread over several days.
The course is suitable for all industries and both large and small companies.
After the course, we recommend that you set aside time to talk about alcohol, parties and work.

Many workplaces have a group chat for sharing information. It is a place where people can chat about all kinds of things happening in the company, from the important to the mundane. But what can we read between the lines?
The truth emerges in the ALL CAP$ KREW group chat. This is a hidden group, by invite only. Where do you draw the line for what you can share in a closed group chat at work?
Are you unsure how “The Party” is relevant to your workplace or how to make sure your employees get the most out of the course? We would be happy to discuss how we can tailor “The Party” for your company.
