Over the next few weeks employees are bound to want time off work to watch specific football games and this is especially true next Wednesday when England coverage is set to start at 3pm.
As a result, office managers need to come up with a viable solution to ensure that football fans are not disgruntled when coming to work and also to ensure that productivity levels remain high.
Piers Linney, joint CEO of Outsourcery said, 'Businesses need to prevent absenteeism and by adopting greater flexible working practices they will benefit from a happier workforce while allowing their employees to be productive and patriotic at the same time.'
For employers there are various ways that this can be achieved as managers can allow staff to swap shifts or perhaps even start and finish work earlier.
However, there are also technical solutions that can utilise desktop virtualisation in order to get the most of out of office workers. For example, if company has a virtual desktop system then football fans could arrange with their boss to book the time off and then simply logon to their home computer and access the centralised network.
The benefits of this technology mean that employees can enjoy a more flexible working environment and that managers can still meet important deadlines.
By using such a system employers and employees could co-operate with one another to ensure both of their needs are met, which would result in productivity levels remaining constant.
Employees should also remember that Wimbledon is also on during the World Cup, so it is perhaps a good idea to accommodate tennis fans as well.
