As the 2010 FIFA World Cup finally kicks off, Acas has become the latest organisation to issue guidelines designed to help employers get the best from employees and avoid absence during the tournament.
The employment relations service is encouraging employers to adopt a team-oriented approach and be both flexible, such as by offering alternative working hours or longer lunch breaks, but also clear and communicative about what is expected from employees regarding attendance and performance.
