Keeping up Productivity and Motivation in the run up to Christmas
Staff have more than work on their mind in the run up to Christmas. There is the shopping to be done, the parties to attend and visits to family and friends, all of which have the potential to impact on work. Some businesses close down over the Christmas period, but what if you need to keep open. How will you arrange rotas and meet all the demands for leave.
