How to Turn a Staff Christmas Party Into Something Sensational

The Christmas season is coming up again and the same problem arises again as it does every year at this time; what are we going to do for this year's Christmas work function?

The staff have really been under pressure this year and they have performed well under rather trying conditions, and they deserve a real end of year treat, time to let their hair down and kick their heels up so to speak.

However they are a discerning lot and you are anxious to maintain their respect with a suitably appropriate party venue, something a little different.

You have a list of essential conditions the venue will have to meet:

• Your own private facilities: The facility must be available for your own exclusive use without the fear of gatecrashers spoiling your night

• A chance to "dress up": Theme parties are a lot of fun, helping to create a relaxed environment and break the work hierarchical structure, putting all staff on the same level

• A competition for the best, worst, most daring costume is always a lot of fun

• Convivial atmosphere: A venue with a real festive atmosphere is what is called for on this occasion, a colorful light show, an alluring dance floor ("I could have danced all night"), and comfortable furniture to lounge on

• Music: Your venue almost assuredly should have an ace sound system to play the songs you most enjoy dancing to, maybe you could tell them in advance the style of music you most enjoy and is appropriate for your occasion

• Master of ceremonies: A good team leader will help break the ice, generate good humor, get the dancing going, and provide some structure for the night's entertainment. He or she will work to your program of events if required, but they will have a wealth of experience of these events to draw upon

• Refreshments: Ensure there is a well-stocked refreshment bar with an interesting selection of jazzy cocktails and the more traditional drinks. Non-alcoholic beverages should always be readily available, dancing is hot work! Function staff will be trained in "Host Responsibility" ensuring your event runs without a hitch

Safe travel and conduct is of paramount importance to you, your staff and their actions on this great night are your responsibility, and it is with relief that the right venue hosts will be responsible for this, as they will collect your staff in a luxury coach and deliver them safely to their homes after the event.

Selection of the right corporate party bus hire experts will meet all your requirements and more, allowing you to fulfill your desire to reward not only your staff but also yourself with a truly successful and safe celebration.
