Is a company year-end party necessary?
Since May of last year, when the new coronavirus infection was classified as a Type 5 infectious disease, drinking parties that had been refrained from until now have increased.
At the end of the year, some companies brought back year-end parties. While some people think of year-end parties as a good place to have fun and communicate with colleagues, there are also voices that say they don’t want it to be forced or that it’s not necessary in the first place.
We solicited a wide range of opinions through Surfvote regarding the significance and necessity of company year-end parties.

Introduction of voting results and comments (some excerpts/original text) It would be better to have year-end parties in the future 37.9% As long as people are free to participate or not, and people are not forced to participate, I don’t think there will be any problem with year-end parties being held as usual.
Year-end parties will be abolished, and there is no need to replace them 25.9% If the cost of year-end parties is an expense, I would like them to return that amount to their salaries and eliminate such events. Year-end parties should be abolished and opportunities for deepening friendships should be created during work hours 13.8%
If deepening friendships will help the work proceed smoothly, I would like it to be completed within working hours. Some people can’t come outside of business hours, and some find it a burden. If that’s the case, I don’t think anyone would feel bad about it as long as it’s during work hours when they’re paid.
Year-end parties should be abolished and training to improve teamwork and communication should be implemented 0%
1.7% should abolish year-end parties and provide allowances and subsidies that can be used for socializing with small groups of employees.
It’s better not to waste money on year-end parties…
Others 20.7%
First of all, I would like to place importance on being able to communicate closely with the people I interact with at work. I don’t know 0%
