 Hi Phillip, 

The FIFA World Cup is nearly here and while fans are counting down to kick-off, employers are often preparing for a very different challenge.

Suspected absence after late-night/early morning matches, last-minute annual leave requests, lateness, no-shows and staffing disruption can all become more common during major sporting tournaments, especially with some World Cup matches kicking off early hours in the morning. The good news is that with a bit of planning, you can keep morale high without losing control of operations.

We’ve created a practical guide for employers covering:

	Managing lateness and unauthorised absence

	Handling suspected “sickies” fairly

	Alcohol and conduct issues at work

	Preparing for staffing disruption

	Bonus bank holiday considerations

	Practical steps to reduce disruption before the tournament starts

    Download your world cup guide

Whether your workforce will be glued to every match or simply enjoying the atmosphere, having clear expectations in place now can help avoid headaches later.

After all, prevention is usually a better tactic than injury time panic.

Want to keep up with the tournament too? We’ve also created a downloadable World Cup fixtures chart so you can keep track of every match throughout the competition.
