What to do about a problem called great sporting events? 2024 sees the Euro’s & Olympics being held 🏆 – both in Europe 🌍. Euro’s ⚽ in Germany (start this month) & Olympics 🎯 in France (starts in July) So, no time difference 🕧🕐🕜 for games and events really… Meaning that some games / events will be live on TV 📺 in works time by and large. Have you left it til now to start to think / talk about this? If so, best to think about your approach for your employees then, right?! For some employers, these events could mean an increase in absence, holiday requests, AWOL and a potential decrease in productivity if employees keep looking at their mobiles 📱 or popping into the staff room 🥪 (if you are playing them on TV screens in the workplace). So, how can you proactively get ahead of any challenges🤔 ? What about speaking 🔊🗣️🔊 to your workforce, and involving them in the decisions for the team? Touched on it above, will you provide a TV to allow employees to enjoy watching them in their breaks ☕/ lunchbreaks if they so choose? Can you create a rota 📜, based on agreement that if it’s quiet, more of the team can take a Euro/Olympic break ⏳ and then either you take the hit (time) or they work the time back, or a mix of both… Some employers (if able to) shut down ⛔ for key events / games, but of course this isn’t an option for everyone… Or (maybe more popular), others bring the workforce together to watch 👓 – but again this isn’t always practical… What you can’t do is ignore it and hope it will go away – especially with the UKs rich multi-cultural 🏳️🌈 workforce – even if England don’t do well, other teams will!! But you still have time to plan should a home team make it to the end 🏁 – like the Euro Final – or 100m Mens Final ⏱️ (or Relay!). Stranger things have happened – right?! And should your absenteeism / AWOL increase, should you not be able to approve all holiday requests, should you see a drop in productivity or if you notice any other impact, having robust systems and processes 🛅📶🆗🆙#️⃣⏭️🔡🔚 in place to deal with such issues is sensible anyway. #euros #olympics #businessowner #hr

As a leader, have you proposed a team activity and heard groans or worse, silence? With the weather getting nicer, it's common for teams to participate in more out-of-office activities! Walks at lunch, drinks on a patio or even participating in local marathons! Although these activities can be fun and a positive experience for most, we're here to ensure that your plans are inclusive to all! Diverse Activities: Ensure that your outings include a range of activities to cater to different interests and physical abilities. From walks that are accessible to all, to more active options like team sports, there’s something for everyone. Be extra mindful of team members who do not consume alcohol! Considerate Scheduling: Schedule these events during regular work hours to ensure everyone has the opportunity to join without impacting personal time. Clear Communication: Make sure all outings are communicated well in advance with detailed information, allowing team members to prepare and decide how they’d like to participate. Feedback and Adjustments: Post-event feedback is crucial. Listen to what worked and what didn’t, making necessary adjustments to your approach based on team input! This spring, let’s make the most of the great outdoors to strengthen our team bonds and enjoy some well-deserved fun! #TeamBuilding #OutdoorActivities #SpringOuting #HR #VimyHR #EmployeeEngagement #HealthyWorkplace
