Get Ready for the Holiday 2005 Sales Season

* Develop a plan for managing and supervising the seasonal increase in staff. Have trained supervisors ready to control the staff increase. The supervisors should integrate seasonal workers as much as possible into their full-time staffs. For example, you can boost productivity of seasonal employees by offering them the same incentive programs you give regular staffers, and by making them eligible for flexible hours, special discounts and other perks.
