Your company has had a fantastic year. The profits are through the roof, and you’ll finally be able to expand. This is what you and your staff have been working so hard toward. You already provide a great salary and benefits package to all of your personnel, but you also like to spoil them at year’s end with a holiday party to end all holiday parties. This year, hire a corporate limousine service to provide everyone transportation to and from the event. Here is the primary reason why this is so important. People “Let Their Hair Down” The point of many office holiday parties is for people let their hair down and get to know each other in a social situation rather than as simply work colleagues. Studies show that when a business does things to promote camaraderie amongst its staff, they worker better together and harder. This is why company retreats have become so popular. Bosses want their employees to get along. Plus, you like throwing the annual party because you enjoy giving your people a fun night out that they might not have otherwise taken. You enjoy watching them enjoy themselves. The problem is, some people let their hair down to their ankles, and if the alcohol is flowing, a few may partake a little too much. Fun drunks are one thing; angry drunks are quite another, and if some of your staff tends to be aggressive after they’ve knocked back a few, suggesting they take cabs home might not be received as the good advice that it is. You cannot afford to let drunken people get behind the wheel of their own vehicles. This is dangerous to them, to others, and, believe it or not, to your business. You could lose everything if one of your employees gets in an accident on the way home. Drinking While Intoxicated and a Lawsuit A corporate limousine will get the overly intoxicated back to their homes safely, which is what you want and need. When you consider the alternative, your legal team cringes, but take a look at the possibility anyway. Imagine one of your employees gets into an accident on the way home. He had way too much at the party yet insisted on driving himself once the night concluded. Thankfully, he wasn’t injured; unfortunately, the other driver didn’t make it out quite as lucky. Your employee swerved into oncoming traffic and hit the car head on; the driver did not survive. The authorities confirmed your employee was drunk when they arrived on scene. He is not only facing DUI charges, he is also facing vehicular homicide charges. It comes out in court that he got drunk at your holiday party. The victim’s spouse has the right to pursue action against your employee, you, and the facility that hosted the party and served the alcohol. You could lose your entire business. Don’t chance anything. Hire a corporate limousine service to chauffeur your employees to and from your next holiday party. Everyone can have a good time and you don’t need to worry about the above.
