Keeping
Holidays Happy
The winter
holiday season is usually the busiest time of year. Consider these tips to keep
employees on track through all the distractions:
-
Decide
how productive employees need to be during this period and keep goals
realistic.
-
Review
previous holiday seasons — What worked well? Did any area of business suffer?
-
Where
there any "issues" that caused hassles? (Too many employees on vacation, too
many holiday lights blowing the fuses.... What kinds of customer complaints
did you receive?)
-
Use this
information in a company-wide effort to create solutions to prevent these
issues this year and maintain productivity. Employees will more easily "buy
in" to solutions they had a hand in choosing.
-
Remember
to be sensitive to employees during the holiday season; this season is
challenging on a personal level, too. You can look forward to relieving stress,
like a catered lunch or footing the delivery bill for lunch orders from a
local restaurant, have a massage therapist come in to give them a back and
neck massage to relieve that tension.
-
Above
all, take time to talk to your employees frequently and tell them you
appreciate their efforts!
