    Use your free sporting policy sample to create firm but fair guidelines around watching the big game at work.

    Whether it’s the World Cup or Wimbledon, your staff could be excited to watch the latest sporting event. And often, that feels more interesting than work…

    You don’t want to ruin your employees’ fun, but you also need to plan ahead for HR issues. With everyone wanting time off to watch the big fixture, you may need to specify a minimum staffing level – otherwise you’d be seriously understaffed.

    Then, your employees who are in work might be a little distracted… And if a last-minute sick day reeks of excuses, it could feel tempting to put a ban on sporting fun altogether.

    But you don’t need to be a bad sport and damage employee relations.

    Next time there’s a big sporting event, use your free policy sample to see how to:

    • Avoid tension around holiday leave by setting the rules around staffing levels.
    • Maintain productivity by allowing staff to work flexibly around the game.
    • Reduce unauthorised absence by outlining the formal consequences in advance.
    • Boost morale by providing permission to watch the game at work.
