The weeks leading up to Christmas are always frenzied. With fewer business days and increased workloads for many companies, it seems everyone is a lot busier than usual. And then there’s the office Christmas festivities to organise too!

Typically retail, hospitality, warehousing and logistics need to have extra good, reliable staff to help with increased workloads – and getting them can be a real hassle. Keeping your customers happy and getting products delivered on time is a priority and that’s where a good recruitment agency can step in and provide the solution to your workload boom worries.

Jobs - now hiring! Advice on surviving the festive workload boom

At Premier Placement Services, we only supply the best. All our candidates have gone through a strict interview process to make sure they are honest, reliable and have the right skills for the job.  You can rest assured that if you need to increase your workforce over the festive period (and beyond), we will have someone that’s perfect for you.

And to help to keep you sane and your business on track in the lead up to the big day, here’s some of our top tips:

  • If you need extra staff, talk to our friendly team of consultants – we’re here to help!
  • Keep your customers happy by making sure excellent customer service is at the forefront of the business (remember, they’re probably frantically trying to get everything done in time for Christmas too!)
  • Be flexible – it’s important not just for you, but also for your employees. Be honest with your staff and make sure they’re on board to cover this busy period and make them aware that they may have to pick up some roles that they wouldn’t necessarily normally do
  • Work smarter hours – take a look at the flow of customer demand. Do you need to work more at night? Can you stagger hours so that enquiries outside of normal business hours are dealt with?
  • Have fun! It’s not all about work, work, work – make sure you take time out to celebrate and enjoy the run up to Christmas with your staff. It might be an office party or a quick tipple at the local, but keeping staff morale high will help to keep everything running smoothly.
