Whether you are a business based in London or Glasgow, the build up to Christmas and New Year will inevitably be one of the busiest times of the year. In terms of work to be done, social events and the holidays in general, the next three months will most likely be jam-packed. So with Christmas projects well underway by now and the biggest shopping month of the year ahead of you - are you ready?

These days, it takes more than a simple pep talk to keep teams engaged and focused on the task at hand, as employees are often looking for something more; they aren't happy to settle for okay - as they want the best for themselves, and tend to demonstrate this through the work they produce.

As a result, they are often much harder to satisfy in terms of job satisfaction, and personalities can clash as a result. Reduce stress this holiday period - the busiest time of year - with some team building activities.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR TEAM IS STRESSED

Although employees within teams and departments are inundated with deadlines at all times, there are a few tell-tale signs to look out for that indicate that the stress might be getting to some team members.

These include days taken off work at short notice, conflict between team members and dropped performance levels; ultimately leading to reduced customer satisfaction, which can and will impact your business if no action is taken.

So, How Can You Rectify This?

As well as wanting to do what you can to reduce the stress in your workplace, employees will feel much better if they feel valued and important within their role, department, and the business as a whole. The best way to ensure that your employees aren't reeling from stress before the Christmas holiday season gets underway is to address any existing issues with morale building team building activities.
