| During Vacation Season, Help Employees Stay Productive |
| There are certain times of the year when it's especially hard to stay focused and productive. (Think late summer and around the winter holidays.) During these typically slow periods, when the office might be almost empty, consider how you can give your employees extra flexibility. For example, some people might want to come in and leave early to have more family time before the school year starts. Others may want to work remotely so they can go out of town while still getting their work done. But don't assume what your employees want — ask them. And equip managers to make the call on what to allow. If you can, you may even want to try closing the office for a few days to help people disconnect and recharge. Giving employees greater control over their schedules, even for short periods of time, can boost morale and keep everyone's productivity at a good (and reasonable) level. |
