Keeping Your Employees Focused This Holiday Season | VetFran

The holiday season is upon us. While there is still work to be done, it can be easy for employees to be distracted with “all things holiday,” which can cause work and productivity to fall by the wayside.

Our team at VetFran wants to help you prepare your team to enjoy the holiday season while still being efficient at work.

Happy Holidays at Work

Although everyone is wanting to get into that holiday cheer, there are still important deadlines to be met at the end of the year. Keep your employees motivated and productive during the holidays with these tips:

First, allow your employees to take a few days off this month. While you can’t let everyone use a vacation day at the same time, you can allow your employees to spread out their days off this month so that they can use that time off to focus on their holiday shopping, decorating and events.

By allowing your team to use vacation days during December, they are able to use that time to focus on what needs to get done for their holiday. Then, when they return to work, they can be better focused on work. It’s a win-win!

Second, have a meeting with your team at the beginning of this month. Let them know your expectations and goals for December and what you want to achieve before the year ends.

This can also be a good time for everyone to share their schedule. Between children’s holiday school events and loved ones visiting, you want your team to feel as though they are able to be there for those special moments.

Finally, keep your employees motivated during the holidays by allowing them to have a more flexible schedule during the month. Perhaps even offer some time to work from home so that your employees can have more of a work/life balance as life gets chaotic.
