It arrives December and all know what comports. Questions to your surroundings, and describe it like a "month to half gas". And more, if you make this just question after having enjoyed of a bridge that for the luckiest has been of seven days.

A week more than work, and to the following, without almost you notice, begin the week of Christmas celebration and begin your holidays of Christmas, period in which we justify the excesses and break our routines. In definite, a month in which it seems to be that we leave us go.

But, it Affects the Christmas in the labour productivity? Everything depends on the sector in which we fix us, because, of course, if we put the focus in the retail, obviously no. The productivity, then, doesn't reduce. In full Christmas season, gifts and other, the capacity of performance of these workers reaches perhaps the point more decisive of the year.

The Spanish Association of Directors of Human Resources, 'UP Spain' has elaborated recently a post in his blog in which they have valued that different factors can influence in the capacity of performance of the workers in this holliday season, so much during, as later. As we have said, we leave us go and this surpass and superabundance can go in ours against, although in a start do not identify it of this way: "The Christmas excesses take its toll and are reason of irritation in the work, especially to the turn of the holidays. During the Christmas parties a lot of people tend to unfit the levels of food and of alcohol that they eat, being very upper to the usual. Like this, the turn to the normality can generate them a light feeling of syndrome of abstinence that will reflect in a worse state of spirit, irritability, and descent of the productivity" aim from UP.

Some of the councils that offer the professionals to keep the productivity of the employees during these two weeks that extends the Christmas time are so simple that sometimes forget that we have to apply them to see his fruits. On the one hand, implement the teleworking if it is that it is possible and still has not incorporated in your organisation. It is important to optimise the time and establish a priority to the tasks that have to make as well as his back organisation. Finally, and no less significant, is important to recognise to the workers the extra effort that do in these days to achieve arrive to his professional aims and contribute in the contribution of value for the company to be able to create and strengthen bows and bonds between workers with recognition and motivation.

Further, of the performance and the capacity of the workers, the Christmas supposes also a big opportunity to establish a good labour climate in the place of work. Therefore, it is also a good opportunity to make activities of 'team building' to do grow the commitment of the employees.

On the other hand, unlike the councils to continue being productive in Christmas, other professionals as for example, Fernando Trujillo, professor of Right and Director of 'Desc-Work' in an article elaborated by sea Goat, in 'The Confidential' aimed the past 2021 that it is essential for the worker effect a "digital disconnection". Trujillo Defended this like something necessary and paramount for the worker "no only by the mental appearance but also by the body. The computer fatigue is affecting to musculoskeletal disorders and to the physicist. A worker will be more productive, innovative, creative and will have more autonomy to take decisions."
