Everyone needs a break, but you shouldn’t lose out as a result.
We’re now entering the holiday season, a time when businesses traditionally feel the strain through staff shortages. In fact, according to research conducted by Vistage, more than a third of UK bosses expect to have to work during their summer holidays. So how can you mitigate the effects of the summer holidays, whilst also keeping your all important workforce happy and allowing them the much need time off that they deserve? The most effective employers take advantage of the tools available to them.
The holidays are also a time when many households have extra time to shop around and find competitive deals online. It’s important to make sure that you can cover this period by reacting to their needs.
During the summer months businesses are generally working with lower staffing levels, but the demand to communicate with potential customers is actually higher because consumers have more spare time on their hands to make enquiries. This creates a problem for many businesses as they strive to satisfy increased demand at a time of reduced capacity. Getting the balance right so that your customer service levels are still high can be a real challenge.
"Great customer service does not come by chance. It is the result of training and ensuring there are enough assistants to serve the customers.”
