Happy hour? A conversation about alcohol and work – culture, risk and belonging

From post-deal drinks to client events and team celebrations, alcohol is woven into workplace culture. Yet when something goes wrong, it’s rarely seen as ‘just a drink’.

With new duties on employers to prevent sexual harassment, and growing attention on workplace risk and inclusion, it’s time to take a more intentional look at how alcohol shapes workplace culture – and the risks it carries.

This short, focused webinar will explore:

• How alcohol contributes to conduct, harassment and reputational risk

• The assumptions we make about what’s normal, social or expected
