Managing the Olympics

Link to this post 25 Apr 12

Hi all,

I'd be interested to hear how are people planning to deal with staff interest (and potential absenteeism) during the summer Olympics?

I've heard of some people planning on setting up plasma screens in offices.

Does this work? or cause a distraction?

Any ideas?

Similar to the Royal Wedding last year, perhaps the Olympics could be used as a tool by businesses to garner goodwill with employees?

As in international event, the Olympics, with all its disciplines, reaches out to a huge audience so why not utilise the occasion in a positive way that will be beneficial to both parties concerned.
