How Do You Prevent Summer Slack Off?

With Memorial Day upon us and some great temps in the forecast, we find ourselves looking at the productivity drain that can also hit small businesses this time of year. From vacations to employees who seem to get sick every time it's sunny and 85degrees on a Friday, things can easily slip. Perhaps you're even guilty yourself of slipping out a little early on Friday. Or Thursday. Well that is a perk of being your own boss, right?

The challenge is that in this economy, every shred of productivity matters. As Small Business turns the corner to recovery, there's really not a lot of margin for waste. Reduced staffing volumes have also added a strain to companies heading into vacation season. So what's your biggest concern with summer here (mentally if not seasoanlly)? What steps will you take to make sure you get time to enjoy your friends and family as much as your employees may see theirs? We'd love to hear feedback on your summer outlook. Share with us here, on LinkedIn or tweet us!

Happy Memorial Day, and thank you to the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms!
