4 tips for how to keep your business running during the summer

 

1 Plan in advance

Map out your staffing needs well in advance by setting a holiday schedule. This will allow you to identify any gaps that cannot be solved internally and bring in summer substitutes in a timely manner.

2 Secure staffing early

Today’s candidates have many offers to choose from, so it’s important to hire summer substitutes quickly and review applications at the right time. This way, you won’t miss out on the most eager summer candidates.

3 Onboard summer staff properly

To ensure that the business runs as usual during the holidays, create good conditions for summer staff by providing a clear and structured onboarding process. Consider training summer substitutes in May, so they have time to get into their tasks while employees can go on holiday in peace. It can also be useful to let summer staff shadow for a short training period before they start working.
 

4 Review deadlines

Review deadlines during the summer and set the holiday schedule accordingly. Plan internally and recruit substitutes during the first quarter, so employees will feel confident that they can go on holiday in peace.
