In the wake of #MeToo, many professionals began rethinking the wisdom of a boozed-up night with their colleagues, leading to fewer in-person holiday parties.
With two-thirds of the American white-collar workforce working remotely, face time with colleagues is no longer a default feature of the 9-to-5, negatively impacting networking opportunities.
Despite the decline in holiday parties, nearly 65% of companies surveyed are planning to reinstate in-person celebrations, suggesting a return to pre-#MeToo camaraderie.
The return of office holiday parties could help combat feelings of loneliness and disengagement among workers, providing critical networking and mentorship opportunities for early-career employees.
