I know it says "gentle reminder", but let's be honest here...it's 2024 and these holidays are listed on the secular calendar. I'm not going to be "demure" about this one - please stop planning events or essential meetings or exams for these dates. "But Beth! There are *so* many holidays for all the different religions! If we had to block them all, it would be too much. We can't possibly account for everyone." Correct, you can't. However, you can be mindful about your employee population and get to know your people. You can avoid the major holidays and you can give floating holidays to all employees so that they can observe their practices. You'd never plan an all-team mandatory meeting for Christmas Day, right?

TIP OF THE WEEK: Holidays can be the busiest time of the year for some businesses. How do you handle holiday time off requests though when you may need your staff on deck more than other times of the year? Here are 3 tips to help get your projects finished and keep your staff happy: 1 – Allow staff to make trade-offs. It may be possible that someone can cover for that staff member for the time needed without neglecting their own projects. 2 – Don’t assume that everyone wants to celebrate the holidays. Ask your staff’s preference. There may be some staff members that would prefer to work on holidays and have off some other day off. 3 – Show you care. You may not be able to accommodate everyone’s request but don’t act like it is no big deal. Apologize to that staff member for denying their request and possibly offer a tradeoff of some kind. #holidaytimeoff #holidays #pivotgrowthpartners #pivotgrowth
