Hi all,
I'm a HR Manager at a reputed consumer goods manufacturing company. Our production peaks during festive seasons, as there’s lots of demand for our products. Clients expect timely deliveries for their outlets, and any delays could impact the company's reputation and financial performance. Seniors and directors of the company has insisted the HR Team to be full present during this time without any absence even on the day of Diwali. Suggest some strategies to communicate with the team to handle this situation.

Hi Sree Laxmi,
To handle this situation, here are some strategies you can consider for communicating with the HR team and boosting morale during the festive season:
1. Team Meeting: Call a meeting with the HR team to explain the company’s expectations and the importance of being fully present during the peak season. Explain how critical it is for the company’s financial health and reputation to meet client demands on time, especially during festive seasons.
2. Incentives & Rewards: Introduce incentive programs such as cash bonuses, gift vouchers, or "best performance" awards to acknowledge employees' dedication during this demanding period. This will help motivate them to stay engaged and committed.
3. Company-Sponsored Outings or Events: Arrange a team-building event, outing, or a pre & post-festival picnic sponsored by the company. This can help employees feel appreciated and give them something to look forward to after the busy season.
4. Flexibility After the Peak Season: Offer compensatory off-days or flexible working hours once the festive rush is over, so employees can take time off later to recharge.
5. Open Communication: Issue a internal communication, detailing the company's current financial situation, the high demand during the festive season, and how everyone’s contribution will help the company succeed. Ensure the message is motivational and transparent.
