Holiday Tips6 top tips on planning your holiday cover.

  1. Plan ahead
    The more notice you can give us, the better job we can do for you. If you have several secretaries all booking holiday at different times, we may be able to find one temp to cover for all of them, which will provide some continuity for you.
  2. Be clear about what you want
    We’ll work with you to identify exactly what tasks the temp will be expected to do, and what mindset will fit your organisation. We can then find you the best match of skills and personality.
  3. Prioritise
    A temp may take on the main responsibilities of your permanent member of staff, but is unlikely to have the same deep understanding of your business. If the workload is pre-planned properly, the temp can cover essential duties and other work can wait until the staff member returns.
  4. Handover period
    It can be useful for the temp to start in advance of the planned absence, so they can become familiar with the role and responsibilities, meet key people and make a seamless transition.
  5. Work as a team
    Let colleagues and managers know what service levels they can expect from the temp, to ensure all critical functions are covered and your customers won’t notice any delays.
  6. Relax!
    Good temps are responsible, reactive and accountable. With the right preparation in place, you can be confident to delegate full-time responsibilities to them.

 

Don’t forget to let us know your expected requirements for holiday temps and we’ll give you a shortlist of suitable candidates!
