異業種系忘年会　Cross-industrial year-end party

同じ会社での社内忘年会は気を使って疲れるなどの理由で不人気で、社員の44％が忘年会参加に後ろ向き、との調査結果（タナベ三菱製薬の調査）もあります。

一方、先日、私は知り合いに声をかけて、お互いに初対面の人にも参加いただき、一名3,500円で小規模な忘年会を開きました。
この種の異形種での会では率直で前向きな話、アイデア交換もできて楽しさ倍増です。
According to the survey by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, 44% of their employees gave negative response to joining their in-company year-end party for the reason that they get tired with attentiveness.
On the other hand, I called friends of mine over to a small sized cross-industrial year-end party with \3,500 ($35) per person the other day, where some of them are strangers to each other.
In this kind of cross-industrial year-end party, positive and frank discussions or exchanges of ideas are possible, which make the party much more enjoyable.
