Hide AdTUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Many of us look forward to the traditional work Christmas party as a chance to wind down and celebrate with colleagues, but workers and bosses should remember that they are still in a work setting.
"Nobody wants to offend another member of staff, or worse do something that might get them sacked just before Christmas.
"Employers must be clear they have a zero-tolerance attitude to sexual harassment and treat any complaint seriously."
