Christmas is around the corner, and it's time for employers and employees to celebrate and have fun. Classified Post asked Hongkongers how their companies will celebrate Christmas this year.
'We have a big, beautiful office where we can have Christmas drinks. Everybody will take a break from work and enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks. We have Christmas decorations in the office too. This adds a little extra flavour to the festival. At night, the company will book a fancy restaurant where everyone can enjoy a feast. These festive activities can be a big boost to employee morale. It is also a great opportunity to relax and get to know your colleagues.' Trish Wong Ka-yin, marketing
'Christmas time is one of the peak seasons for the logistics business. Many holiday goods, such as toys and various gift items, have to be shipped on time to customers around the world. Nevertheless, no matter how busy we are during the holiday period, there will still be a small party in the office for all the employees to relax and eat. Then, after work, we will also have dinner together. Terri Ngai Yuen-mei, logistics
'We play some games, eat and have fun together. The parents are very keen on bringing their home cooking to the party and I enjoy this a lot. Some of the materials used at the parties in the branch centres are donated to us by charity and I really thank those people for bringing happiness to those who are less privileged.' Vanessa Lam Hung-po, charity organisation
'My job has a lot to do with children, so the Christmas parties thrown by my company are usually for parents, children and staff to have fun together. I really enjoy celebrating with children. Some parents will dress up as Santa Claus to give away presents to children. Before the party, everybody will take some time to help decorate the Christmas tree. For food and drinks, my company will use a catering service. Parents who love to cook will also bring their home cooking. Galen Liu Ying, health care
