[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s obvious why it’s important to attend these events, then you should be able to articulate the negatives consequences of not attending them couched in terms of how it’s affecting their work, rather than their absence from the in-person events themselves.

This. Even if the work effects are intangible (ie, perception of being not a team player which would factor into promotions), that’s how to frame it. If you don’t feel comfortable staying that, consider your workplace practices around non mandatory events. [/quote]

There has to be actual consequences though (not that I agree).
If face time is important to promotion regardless of work product, then show that by promoting just the ones who show up. Give all the good work and juicy tidbits just to people who are in person when the head honchos are.

I don't think that you should actually do this. You need to look at total work product obviously. But if there's no impact, then nobody cares. [/quote]

If face time is important to whatever — than a decent supervisor will clearly and unmistakably communicate this to the entire staff.  Punishing or rewarding staff without clearly communicating expectations is poor management, and eventually people will start leaving because of this.  It seems likely that many things related to this event were not clearly communicated. [/quote]
