Office Productivity

I agree that as World Cup kicks off, most of the football fans would be willing to stay up late at night to watch every match. As they stayed up late to watch the match, they would have no energy the next day to work. Thus, they will then apply leave from their employers and give reasons such as “I am sick”, “my mother is receiving treatment”, and all sorts of reasons. If many employees applied for leave, the productivity would definitely fall. Office productivity is important. Even though the World Cup only takes place every four years, it doesn’t mean that most of the office productivity would fall and rise every four years. E.g. If a company has 100 employees, 70 of them are football fans, there are 20 people applying for leave every day, the office productivity would definitely drop.

What employers can do to prevent this from happening is that employers can build employee morale through celebration and reduce from implying stress. Serious meetings should be switch to a more relax kind of meeting, with more laughter instead of everybody looking so serious. Project’s deadline can be pressed, but prevent from stressing their employees. Employers can also organize an outing or and dinner with their employees and this can help in having stronger bonds between each other.
