Specialist employment lawyer Julia Woodhouse issued the warning, stating that a work party is technically counts as "company time", meaning that employees should keep their behaviour in check. She noted that in a casual environment, conversation "can become less guarded" and what one person may seem as a joke or even a friendly hug, can be interpreted as "discrimination or harassment".
She highlighted that it was also important to avoid any kind of behaviour that could be seen as discriminating against a protected characteristic.
