Jasmin Wölke moderates company Christmas parties in Bochum: long-service honours, the review of the year and the evening programme, in German and English. The official part stays compact, and the people of the company take centre stage.
December in Bochum: a backdrop with character
Anyone hosting a Christmas party in Bochum can choose rooms with history. The Zeche Bochum places the evening inside a former colliery building, the Jahrhunderthalle puts steel girders above the festive tables, and the Mining Museum frames receptions between exhibits. City centre hotels sit a few steps from the Christmas market. Venues like these bring atmosphere on their own, but they demand planning: reverb, walking routes and temperature belong in the briefing, not among the surprises of the night. Jasmin talks the running order and the technology through with the venue in advance and adapts her moderation to the room. In December the calendar is tight on both sides: whoever asks early gets the venue and the moderator they want.
Long-service honours first, then the rest
In Bochum companies the honours list often carries people who have been on board for 25 or 40 years. For Jasmin these honours are the most important part of the evening. Ahead of the party she collects one short, true story per person and turns it into moments that touch the whole table, not just the person on stage. At the Leadership Excellence Awards, a corporate reference with 250 guests and ten awards, she showed how many honours one evening can carry when each gets its own tone. The management speech receives an agreed window, the year in review shows faces instead of figures, and then the party takes over.
Distributed teams, one shared evening
Many workforces in the city are spread across neighbourhoods, control rooms and sites. The Christmas party brings everyone together, including colleagues coming straight from their shift. Jasmin schedules the key moments so nobody misses what matters, and she moderates bilingually when international teams attend. Ideas for the supporting programme are collected in programme ideas for the company Christmas party. The format is explained on the hub Christmas party moderation, and the Bochum city page bundles all pages for the city.
