Employee Morale Activity
Extra Time Off for Shopping
Contributed by Laurie McCarty
After Thanksgiving, the Christmas shopping rush begins. Giving people a half day off to do their Christmas shopping will make you a hero.
If you can’t give a half-day, an hour or two will still be helpful and appreciated.
Be sure they schedule employees’ time off in advance so you are not caught short handed.
Employees will love it, and you will be rewarded by their cooperation when you need it the most.
