3 Secrets to Uncomplicated Holiday Staff
Scheduling
  • As the year comes to a close, staff scheduling
    will be among the most pressing needs for
    retailers and restaurateurs as well. Businesses
    that have been doing well all year can expect a
    steady flow of customers, both new and regular,
    and they can expect this to last from November
    through to early January. As a smart manager or
    business owner, the earlier you start creating a
    solid staff scheduling strategy, the easier it
    will be to safeguard your business against any
    scheduling issues during this busy time.
  • Below are some very effective tips on holiday
    staff scheduling to make things easier for you?
    But first, we recommend that you invest in staff
    scheduling software that suits the kind of
    business you run and the number of employees you
    have. If you intend to take on seasonal hires,
    the more reason you have to use a quality
    scheduling app or highly regarded staff
    scheduling software. As you probably know, online
    staff scheduling can be very effective, but only
    with the right kind of scheduling app.

  • Now lets look at the tips we have for you
  • Be open with any holiday hires if you have
    plans to take on temporary employees for the
    season, let them know that you only intend to
    keep them for seasonally, not on a permanent
    basis. Hiding this kind of information is not
    only unprofessional and unethical it can also
    land you on the wrong side of the law.
  • Over Hire
  • if you expect to get busier as the holidays
    approach, we advise you to plan for a few extra
    employees. These additional employees will help
    you to keep the business running well throughout
    the season, especially when some of your regular
    workers call in sick, or take vacation time.
    Managing temporary employees can be quite
    challenging and once again we recommend online
    staff scheduling as it has proved to be very
    effective in such cases.

  • 2. Limit time off for temps/seasonal workers
  • The main reason as to why seasonal employees may
    join a business is to support the primary
    workforce. It therefore makes sense to restrict
    time off for such workers so as to enable your
    current employees to take time off for various
    reasons. You will, however, want to make
    exceptions when a temp is sick or facing another
    kind of emergency.
  • Other than the above, there are many other ways
    to make holiday staff scheduling a success, such
    as paying your temps as much as your budget can
    allow. But the key to stress-free holiday
    scheduling lies in online staff scheduling, which
    can only be successful with a quality scheduling
    app or premium staff scheduling.

  • The holiday season is fast approaching, and with
    it arrives the annual headache of holiday staff
    scheduling. As most business managers know,
    holiday scheduling can be a never-ending
    nightmare. Holiday shoppers will soon start
    crowding in and just about the same time,
    time-off and vacation requests from your
    employees will start flowing in.
  • So, how do you handle all this without
    practically going insane? Avoid holiday staffing
    nightmares with these 3 tips.
