企業は、従業員同士のコミュニケーションを助けるために、さまざまな活動を行っています。

READING

Companies organize activities to help employees communicate with one another. Some hold sports events or meetings outside the office. Others arrange drinking parties where workers can spend time together after work.

What are some benefits of company drinking parties? Employees can meet people from departments they rarely work with. Informal conversations may help them understand other teams and build relationships. Furthermore, workers may find it easier to ask for advice about their jobs. A setting can make questions or concerns easier to discuss.

Despite these benefits, company drinking parties also have some disadvantages. Employees lose part of their free time when events are held in the evening. They may have family duties, plans, or a need to rest. Another drawback is that people who do not enjoy social gatherings may feel uncomfortable. They may feel pressured to attend, drink alcohol, or keep talking even when they would prefer to leave.
