Tet is a long holiday, no one knows in advance what problems will arise at work during that holiday. A good manager needs to know how to "use people" in times of need, who will solve problems and how to contact them.

Therefore, managers should do the following before employees take Tet holiday:

Send notice of Tet holiday

Make sure service providers and customers (especially international units) receive accurate notice of the Tet holiday period, as well as contact options if work arises during the period. This. Besides, you should also send Tet greeting cards to your partners to express your thanks for their support over the past year.

Update employee contact information

Ask staff to update their contact information. You need to have the employee's personal phone number and email in case of urgent work.

Report current work progress

Ask your subordinates to report work progress to you. You need to clearly know the current work progress of the project you are working on and general information about the project. If employees haven't finished the work they need to do before Tet, give them more time to complete it before they leave.

Know who can handle work during Tet

Before employees go on vacation, review their work and ask if they can handle Tet work at home. Some employees will volunteer and be willing to solve some work problems while they are on Tet holiday, but others will not. This helps you know who to contact and when to resolve work issues that arise during the holiday season.

Transfer work of some employees

Once you know the information about employees who leave early, come in late, or who is not completely ready to work during Tet, and who can volunteer for the work, transfer some of the work to support personnel. Make sure that important projects are always handled if any problems or issues arise during this holiday.

Have a specific plan to clean your office and workplace

A neat, clean seat will help employees feel more excited when returning to work. There's nothing worse than entering the new year with tons of clutter on your desk. In addition, ask employees to clean up their seats before leaving to ensure that important documents are carefully stored to avoid loss. Please check and remind about storing documents on computers or electronic devices, check the fire protection system.

Electrical switches, computers, air conditioners, office equipment... need to be turned off. Please check all locks on file cabinets and safes. Windows, doors, and ventilation holes need to be carefully closed and locked.

Make a list of things to do right after Tet

To ensure work progress and avoid missing or forgetting important tasks, immediately take notes on your phone or set reminder notifications. Taking this step will help you have a smoother, more favorable start to the new year. You need to write down important unfinished tasks on a notepad or highlight them in red in your calendar.

Managers need to send assigned work plans to each employee so that everyone can start working immediately, avoiding work delays in the first days of work.
