Employee Management During the FIFA World Cup 2018
Adecco White Paper | Employee Management During the FIFA World Cup 2018 – Score To Win With Your Teams!
The World Cup season is upon us once again. This means starting today, and all the way until July 15, employees will be staying up to catch matches playing up to the wee hours in the morning (one of the first few matches starts at 2 am Malaysian time), potentially coming to work late or being relatively unproductive the mornings following games.
Looking into this situation Adecco has a few areas that you can take into consideration so everybody wins.
For example, you can implement a flexi-work programme if your company doesn’t already offer it. Look at it as an investment in your employees’ work-life balance. However, one thing is important to remember: If you’re putting in a place a flexible working policy specifically for the World Cup, make sure the policies are clearly defined.
“An engaged individual who understands the boundaries and expectations of the company is much more likely to prepare themselves for time off i.e. briefing clients/customers on when they will or will not be around, discussing the covering of responsibilities while that person is away and so forth,” Adecco’s Employee Management During The 2018 World Cup Score To Win With your Teams! report said.
It added it’s also good to keep in mind that employees will follow the lead of their managers. If you’re a football fan yourself, managing your time so that you’re able to finish your work and still watch your favourite teams play will set a good example.
Raj Kumar, Country Manager of Adecco Malaysia said “It’s a golden opportunity to utilise the World Cup season to boost employee engagement and build strong relationships with employees. This would be a great time to unleash the World Cup fever at the office, you could organise friendly contests between teams or put together “a viewing party” where all employees – both fans or otherwise – can hang out and catch the game together. Companies can also organise a ‘Football Night Out’ offering staff a chance to mingle and bond on a level outside of work”.
