Four Tips to Keep Your Workforce Engaged This Holiday Season

Keeping your workforce engaged this holiday season can be challenging. Many employees experience stress and anxiety amid the hustle and bustle of holiday activities and year-end projects. As a result, staying focused can be difficult.

Fortunately, you can take steps to encourage your workforce to stay engaged this holiday season. These methods can help.

Implement these four tips to help keep your workforce engaged this holiday season:

1. Create a Positive Work Environment

Encourage employees at all levels to contribute to a pleasant work environment. Emphasizing communication and collaboration supports employee engagement and productivity.

For instance, schedule short weekly or monthly workforce meetings to share company news and developments. Also, allow time for employees to discuss their holiday traditions and activities.

Additionally, suggest employees organize a holiday potluck lunch to share cuisine from different cultures and the meaning behind them.

2. Set Challenging Goals

Ask managers to develop challenging goals for their teams. Ensure the goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) to increase the odds of attainment. Employees should stay engaged as they work toward their goals.

3. Encourage Employee Time Off

Remind managers to approve employee paid time off (PTO) during the holiday season when possible. Employees need time to travel, fulfill family responsibilities, and enjoy holiday events. These activities help employees decompress during an especially busy time.

Encourage managers to ask their employees to request PTO for the holidays as early as possible. Having holiday activities to look forward to helps increase employee engagement.

Suggest managers offer as much flexibility as possible when they cannot approve PTO. Employees might need to start work later or finish earlier to support family needs.

4. Express Workforce Appreciation

Encourage managers to recognize their employees’ contributions and results. These activities support employee engagement during the holiday season.

For instance, managers can use phone calls, emails, or hand-written thank-you cards to express appreciation for exceptional employee performance. Managers also can take their teams out for lunch to celebrate significant accomplishments.

Recommendations are not handed out by me for the asking, one must deserve and go above and beyond. I have the pleasure, along with many I would suppose, to give my highest recommendation to Chastity Perdue and her ability to source and bring to the table the best qualified candidates. I had the pleasure of working with Chastity when VP of HR for a large national staffing agency. She was a top performer then. Not until I was a customer of Chastity’s in my current role, did I realize why she was always a top performer… her attention to details in the needs of the customer. She was the first to actually interview in depth and ask the right questions of our hiring managers. Typically, we would get a flow of applicants and have to weed through several to find one qualified and wonder if the supplier even listened to our requirements. Not so with Chastity, she listened, took notes and the applicants we saw were qualified. What a refreshing problem to have of seeing multiple qualified applicants and having to decide between them. This really exemplified itself when one candidate we chose decided to go another direction. Our second choice (by a hair) was also a candidate supplied by Chastity. I truly do give my highest recommendation for Chastity and know that any team she would assemble will be trained in the highest standards of customer service.

Staffing Texas in Bryan is amazing! I just moved to the Bryan/College Station area and was doing my job search through the big world of online resumes and applications with little return. I drove past the Staffing Texas office and decided to stop in. The rest is history! I knew when I walked through the doors that the ladies here meant business and that they would be just what I needed to find employment in my new city. Within 24 hours I had my first interview and, today (less than a week later), I was offered the job. I’m so excited to begin my new journey. Thank you, Gina and all the ladies at Staffing Texas in Bryan!
