The Holiday Season is right around the corner. What is your organization doing to prepare
for holiday vacation requests?
Remember the chaos that was scheduling during the holiday
season last year? And the year after that? Well, be proactive this year!
No need to stress over cancelled sessions, underserving
clients, not enough hours for staff, and on, and on, and on.
CodeMetro wants good
fortune and jolly holidays for all, which is why we wanted to share with you
the following tips on how to prepare your organization for the holiday season:
Tip #1
Review your current policy on vacation time – and if you do
not already have one in place, create one for the holiday season… NOW!
Tip #2
Remind and discuss with your supervisors what your vacation
policy is and encourage that they discuss it with their staff
Have your team reach out to parents regarding their holiday
schedules – this may lend itself to parents rearranging schedules to
accommodate staff vacation requests and contract fulfillment
Discuss with staff their holiday availability – some hourly
staff members may want additional hours during the holiday season
Determine whether you will need to hire seasonal staff to
carry you into the New Year
By proactively preparing for the holiday season, staff will
be more inclined to participate in gathering necessary information and
submitting their requests with more than enough time to plan.
NPAWorks Tip: Maximize your scheduling efforts by reviewing
the calendar Holidays & Non-Service Days for your organization.
