Each year the HR NOLA, LLC staff chooses how we celebrate the end of the year together. Since the beginning, we’ve forgone the traditional holiday office party, and instead did things to support our clients, give back to our community and spend quality time together. This allows us to really connect and express our gratitude’s. This year was no exception! Together we packed 235 meal kits for Second Harvest Food Bank - Feeding South Louisiana, donated a cart of pantry items for The First 72+, ate some great food at Dat Dog - Frenchmen and painted our masterpiece with Paint and Jrink ! I’m thankful for this team and inspired by them daily! Merry Everything to you and yours! Amy Brewer Bakay

As the holidays kick into high gear, it's time for celebration, connection and a little extra cheer. But it's also a time to be mindful of how we show up professionally at the company office party. Our Founder, Amy Brewer Bakay, spoke with WWL Radio to discuss how to navigate this festive season, including some helpful tips and trends for business owners to be aware of.

It’s officially December, and holiday work parties are about to begin around the area. While some of us are grizzled veterans of the corporate culture game and have weathered many a holiday party, some people are new to work parties
