With the holiday season around the corner, organizations are preparing to streamline their seasonal workforce and avoid nightmares due to inefficient operations. However, without a proper plan, the pressure on workers to deliver with tight deadlines will be high, leading to employee burnout. A report earlier this year found burnout is up 9% as 52% of employees have experienced the feeling. Burnout will be especially apparent as businesses continue to face talent shortages and employees continue to struggle to achieve a work-life balance when working remotely.

As most of the workforce will be away from work during the holiday season, project managers have to deal with a severe resource crunch, delayed communication and approvals, late payment issues, and more. But, navigating through the holiday workload with a remote and hybrid workforce while completing projects on budget and on time need not be this difficult. With the right technology, aligning work and meeting project requirements can be a breeze even when working remotely.
