Manage your company’s public holidays with Hybo

At Hybo we have news! Your employees will now be able to know the working days and public holidays according to the office in which they are located. With our new function, the administrator will be able to indicate in the Hybo booking calendar the holidays on which the company will not be operational and the weekends, if desired.

This function is only available to the administrator, who is the only person who can change these dates. Before the year starts, the administrator uploads the public holidays and weekends (weekends can be enabled or disabled, depending on the manager’s wishes) to the corresponding panel. In this way, employees can know in advance whether or not they will be able to book a workspace on the day they wish to do so because it is a public holiday.

Benefits of Hybo holiday management

The addition of this new feature in Hybo is not just an update, but a direct response to the changing needs of modern businesses. Here are the benefits of this feature and how it can improve workspace management in your company:

1. Efficient planning for uninterrupted workflow: One of the main benefits of holiday management in Hybo is the ability to plan ahead. Public holidays are often times when many businesses close their doors or operate with minimal staff. Prior to this feature, it was common for employees to try to book work slots on public holidays without realising the situation. This often led to scheduling conflicts and a loss of valuable time.

With Hybo’s public holiday management, employees can see in a clear and accessible way when public holidays are celebrated in their office. This allows them to plan their activities and workspace bookings in advance, avoiding unpleasant surprises. There will no longer be any interruptions in productivity due to a lack of awareness of public holidays.

2. Avoid scheduling conflicts: A common problem in workspace management is overlapping bookings. Imagine a team scheduling an important meeting for a holiday because they were unaware of the date. Not only is this frustrating, but it can also have a negative impact on business efficiency and employee morale.

Hybo’s holiday feature eliminates this concern. When employees attempt to make a booking on a public holiday, they will receive a notification informing them that the booking is not possible due to the selected date. This ensures that all bookings are made on working days, avoiding scheduling conflicts and improving organisation.

3. Flexibility to configure weekends: This new addition is not only limited to public holidays; it also covers weekends. Flexibility is key here, as companies have different policies and needs regarding weekend operation. Some organisations may prefer to enable bookings on Saturdays and Sundays if they operate on those days, while others may choose to restrict bookings to weekdays.

The ability to configure weekends according to company preferences allows for greater adaptability and customisation. Hybo adapts to the needs of your business, giving you full control over when bookings can be made.

4. Customised settings per location: For companies with multiple offices or locations, Hybo’s holiday management feature is especially valuable. Each location can have its own set of specific holidays, eliminating the possibility of confusion. Employees can be sure that they are always aware of the holidays in their particular office, making planning and coordination easier.

This customised configuration by location adds an additional layer of clarity and control for companies with geographically dispersed operations. Each team knows when the office will and will not be operational, reducing misunderstandings and ensuring better coordination.

5. Increased transparency and informed decision-making: Hybo’s holiday management increases transparency in the organisation. Holidays and weekends are clearly highlighted in the booking calendar, allowing employees to make informed decisions about when to schedule meetings, projects and activities.

When employees have access to clear information about holidays and weekends, they can avoid scheduling errors and ensure that their time is used efficiently. This leads to higher productivity and better time management. 

1. Reducing errors and misunderstandings: Errors and misunderstandings in scheduling can be costly in terms of time and resources. When employees try to book workspaces on public holidays, this can lead to unwanted interruptions and wasted time. Hybo’s public holiday feature eliminates this possibility by ensuring that bookings are only made on working days.

This reduction in errors results in a more efficient and organised working environment. Teams can be confident that bookings are made accurately and that there will be no unpleasant surprises in the calendar.

In conclusion, Hybo’s new holiday management feature is not only an attractive addition, but also a powerful tool to improve the planning and management of workspaces in your company. It allows for more efficient planning, avoids scheduling conflicts, provides flexibility in weekend configuration and customises holiday dates per location.

This feature improves transparency, reduces errors and misunderstandings and contributes to a seamless workflow. In short, with Hybo, workspace management has never been easier and more efficient.
