Avoiding These Issues

• Every year, the Christmas season has some amount
  of effect on business, with bosses confronting a
  minefield of potential troubles and issues. Lets
  take a look at a couple of the HR problems that
  emerge every year at Christmas time. And, of
  course how to stay away from them!

• Arrange Shutdowns And Worker Holidays
• In case you are closing down for a brief period
  over the merry season, ideally you report this
  earlier and disclose clearly to employees the
  exact number of days they would get for the
  Christmas holidays. If you havent done this on
  time in recent years, then ensure you are more
  sorted out this year and in years to come!
  Troubling employees around during the holidays
  can truly be quite stressful and de-motivational.

• Dress Code For The Party
• Many companies decide to relax their dress code
  for the Christmas party every year. Welcoming
  casual dress and Christmas jumpers, particularly
  on Christmas Jumper Day can bring immense feeling
  of fun enjoyment into the office or any other
  place where party is being organised. Be cautious
  about the wording you utilise when advising
  employees about this to guarantee it is clear to
  them that casuals and special Christmas dresses
  are optional, and not mandatory.
• Some people in your office might not celebrate
  Christmas, so dont make anything mandatory. Ask
  everyone in your office to attend the party.

5

• Christmas Gifts
• Christmas is the occasion when numerous companies
  begin accepting presents/gifts from satisfied
  clients/suppliers. While everyone loves to get a
  box of chocolates, it important to remind your
  employees what is acceptable as a gift.
• Make it clear that the staff is welcome to accept
  or share any present/gift of low value (for
  example, under AUD 30), if theyre planning to
  give or accept any higher value gifts, then they
  should inform HR manager. Ask your HR solutions
  manager to keep an eye on gifts where the
  intention of the gift is questionable.

6

• The Christmas Party
• The Christmas gathering ought to be an incredible
  time for some fun enjoyment for your companys
  staff members! However, more than 75 of business
  owners have encountered an issue emerging from a
  Christmas gathering and 15 of workers know
  somebody who has been dismissed or disciplined
  for a negative activity related to a Christmas
  party. So, ask your HR manager to manage the
  party properly.

7

• Not big enough to have an HR for your company? No
  need to worry as HR software and HR solutions are
  here to save the day. Leave all your HR work to
  be managed by HR software or HR solutions,
  meanwhile you go and throw a fantastic Christmas
  Party for your employees this season!
