Is a team event necessary in December?

For the next issue of life magazine, we are looking for contributions for the "Pros and Cons" section. Do you think a joint end-of-year event is essential, or would you prefer fewer appointments in December, which is already a busy month?

In each issue of the employee magazine life, we discuss a question that is on many people's minds. For the upcoming December issue, we are looking for authors who would like to share their views: Is a team event in December necessary – yes or no?

Some people value a get-together at the end of the year as an important opportunity for exchange and team building. Others feel that December is already full enough with appointments and that an event would be better held in a quieter month. What is your opinion? Or do you know of other reasons for or against it?

We are looking for two ETH members who are willing to write a short article for the "Pros and Cons" section. If you are interested, please contact the life editorial team by Wednesday, 1 October: .
