Give Your Staff the Keys to Your Office during the World Cup urges Recruiter

June 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Ten-Percent Legal Recruitment have written a top 10 tips guide for Employers on how to get the best out of staff during the World Cup season. Jonathan Fagan, MD said "so many employers get it completely wrong during the 3 weeks, being over restrictive, trying to make staff watch it on TV at work or being punitive of anyone who tries to watch it or listen to matches. We have published our Top 10 Tips for Employers to Survive the World Cup.

1. Do not under any circumstances stop anyone from watching World Cup matches. This can be the icing on the cake that results in the member of staff leaving in the short-medium term.

2. Allow flexible hours to fit the matches in. If a game starts at 3.30pm give your employees the opportunity to start earlier and go home earlier to see the games.

3. If you go out to watch games, take your staff or let them go home.

4. If you leave the office to go and see games, give the staff your keys and ask them to lock up when they go home.

5. Consider getting a non-football fan to oversee the office on a skeleton staff whilst you go and watch the games, and in return give them an extra day off work in lieu.

6. Offer your staff the chance to take the time off to watch all the games in return for losing a day off in annual leave.

7. Have an office sweepstake on the football. Deliberately pick North Korea for yourself.

8. Let staff work from home where possible during world cup games - they are less likely to do any work at the office whilst they think about what the score could be...At least they might do some later in the evening...

9. Turn up to work wearing a very flowery shirt/dress and show off your dancing.

10. Do a morning football fan shouting competition. Loudest person wins a days annual leave.
