Some employees may be planning bigger than usual festive celebrations this year to make up for the ‘Christmas that covid cancelled’. Whilst many employees will be sensible and ensure that their festive activities don’t impact them in the workplace, this may not always be the case. So, what can it be helpful to know when it comes to getting some likely festive HR issues all wrapped up?
It may be worth bearing in mind that as there will be more opportunity for socialising generally this year, some employers may see an uptick in sickness absence related to ‘more usual’ winter illness, such as colds. This could affect organisations over the festive period so it’s important to be prepared to manage this situation.
