How to politely decline an invitation to a corporate party: colleagues won't be offended
In some teams, corporate culture is quite developed, which is perceived as a minus by less sociable people.
What to do if your colleagues are friendly, the management often organizes various events, but you do not want to get closer to them and prefer to keep your distance?
We'll tell you how to focus on work, avoid offending colleagues, and not seem rude or callous.
What to do if you don't want to attend corporate events
The best thing you can do in such a situation is to inform your colleagues or HR specialist about it.
Be sure to say that you appreciate the effort put in, and then explain why you have no desire to participate in games, celebrations, or trainings.
You may say that you are experiencing fatigue due to a heavy workload, which is why you are unable to attend joint events.
Alternatively, honestly explain that you would like to spend your free time with your family, since you devote everything else to your work.
It also sounds good to openly admit that you feel uncomfortable in large groups and would be grateful if your colleagues understood and accepted this psychological characteristic of yours.
For reference
A team is a group of people united by some common activity, work, study, or solution to a specific social problem.
