At this time of year, most businesses are beginning the wind-down to Christmas. There are office Christmas parties in the diary and the dates which the office will be closed over the Christmas and New Year period have been arranged. That's all well and good for the employees, but for managers Christmas, just like other holidays, can be a headache when it comes to adequate staffing cover. These holiday cover headaches are a thing of the past, however, thanks to the virtual office services from Messagemail.

Many companies don't have the luxury of closing for weeks over Christmas and New Year; often both customers and sales targets rely on them staying open for all but the main public holidays. Given that many employees want time off around Christmas, especially those who are travelling some miles to get home for a family Christmas elsewhere, this can create problems finding enough staff to adequately cover all essential departments throughout the holiday period. Hiring temporary staff at one of the most expensive times of the year for temps can be prohibitively expensive.

That's where Messagemail steps in to save the day. Our virtual office services are not just for businesses who require them long-term ‼ we offer flexible, short-term arrangements which means companies can take advantage of our message taking service only when they need it most. They can rely on the Messagemail call handling service over Christmas and New Year, at Easter, on bank holidays and during the summer months when employees all want to take annual leave at the same time! Scheduling cover over these holiday black holes is no longer a headache ‼ simply call one of the friendly Messagemail team and arrange your temporary, affordable and virtual cover.
