"Unselfishly Selfish" Reasons to Make Your Team Take Holidays

27/1/2020

Other than it is a legal requirement, here are our main reasons for getting your team members to take longer holiday breaks rather than odd days off:

Better for them
Longer breaks give a range of benefits to your team, including more time to:
  1. Fully switch off and relax
  2. Rest and recuperate, coming back to work more energised
  3. Catch up with friends and family, ensuring a happy work/life balance and a longer working relationship with you

Better for you
With team members off for 7-14 days, this gives you (or their line manager) a chance to:
  1. Test their workload - could they be taking on more, do they need to take on less, what are they doing on a day to day basis, do they have the capacity to take on more if your company grows
  2. Test their processes - could you systemise more, could time or resources be saved by doing things differently, do processes need improving, do they need more support
  3. Test holdups - are there reasons that tasks take longer than you expect, is there downtime, what else could be done to improve

Better for all
We have had first hand experience of scaling too quickly and if we had put the above tests in place, maybe we could have seen the flaws in some of our systems, found improvements to processes, systemised more and freed up more time for staff before overwhelming them with more to do.

Now we are over this and looking back, we want to ensure we can share as many tips as possible to save others doing the same. 

To your success in business,
