Work events can feel exclusive if you don't drink
But they don't need to! Join the multitude of businesses that are creating more inclusive work events by providing non-alcoholic options for those who choose to go alcohol-free.
Non-Alcoholic Options For Work Events
Alcohol free options are part of diversity & inclusion
Diversity and Inclusion is one of the top qualities employees look for in companies. So make sure your diversity and inclusion initiatives also extend to your workplace events.
There are multitude of reasons for opting out of alcohol, including but not limited to:
- Religion
- Health or Allergy
- Recovery
- Safety
And yet, still most workplace events revolve around alcohol. Whether it's a happy our or a work dinner, anyone who doesn't drink is often relegated to having sugary soda or water, leaving them feeling like a kid and left out of the experience.
Because people tend to favor people who exhibit similar behaviors, these events can begin to develop implicit biases that may negatively impact peer perceptions of employee. So ultimately, it's more than just a preference, it's about feeling included and ensuring everyone has equal access.
How to create and inclusive event
Ensuring you have an inclusive drinks offering for your event isn't difficult. It just takes a few clicks and then you're ready to go! Just like ordering your normal drinks for the event.
You'll want to provide a few options for non-alcholic beer, non-alcoholic wine, and some ready to drink options in a can.
