It鈥檚 that time of year again!聽Want to express gratitude to the staff in your department this holiday season? Review details on how to plan a successful staff appreciation meal.

Staff appreciation meals are infrequent official functions that are hosted and attended by the head of an organizational unit. They occur for the purpose of showing appreciation for a group of staff members.

The following must be adhered to for the event to be considered a staff appreciation meal:

  1. The meal does not include additional recognition awards (prizes or rewards). The presence of these would require the Employee Recognition Event guidelines to be followed.
  2. Official Function policies and procedures must be followed, this includes the procedures related to the purchase of alcoholic beverages.
