How Planning and Automation Reduce Holiday Headaches

Here are five ways to reduce holiday headaches for business owners and managers!

1. Prioritize. What are the critical tasks that need to be completed before you go? Make a list and make sure the top priorities are taken care of.
   

   Setting up a dashboard with your KPIs is a great way to check in at a glance.

2. Automate. Whether it’s setting up your out of office or scheduling reports to be automatically sent to colleagues, automation will result in less phone calls on the beach.
3. Handoff. Assign people responsibility for important tasks that can’t be automated.
4. Switch off. If you must check in, make sure you do it once, at the same time each day. 
5. Relax. You’ve built a solid team and reliable processes. Trust that it won’t fall apart while you top up your tan.
