As a survey of more than 300 England fans by the betting website Betfair revealed that 32% of fans would consider skipping work to watch the football, companies throughout the land will be bracing themselves for the most potent epidemic of them all to sweep the country, World Cup Fever.
The symptoms include high anxiety and nausea, peaking after around 90 minutes, and if the speculation is to be believed it can only be cured by absenteeism and copious amounts of beer.
Despite fears by bosses that this will lead to empty offices and a depleted workforce, the good news is that it is completely preventable.
If your company has a happy, motivated workforce they will be less inclined to skip work in favour of the football. Corporate gifts can help with this through providing target incentives for sales teams and other areas of the company where positive, productive work can be rewarded. Sales incentives can be a great way to motivate a team and staff will be much less likely to skip work with a prize on offer for those who put in the effort.
This doesn’t just have to be used as an incentive to come to work during the world cup. Corporate gifts provide a great staff incentive, improving morale across the company. Corporate gifts can also provide a great reward for someone who has done exceptional work, or to reward a team after a big project.
When these strategies are pursued as standard, it will provide a great working atmosphere which will make sure staff won’t fall foul of the mystery virus every four years.
