Work Smart Tip – October 24

Sometimes you can’t afford to give a team member a surprise day off.

But why not try a surprise hour off?

WHY? If someone has worked hard or looks stressed out, a “surprise hour off” could get them back on the right track.

HOW? Tell them, “I want you to take a bonus hour off. I’ll cover for you, and I want you to go out and do something for yourself during that time. Go to the park, go for a walk, go shopping. You’ve been working hard and I appreciate it — and I know you’ll come back from this break refreshed and ready to sell some more!”
