Staff Complain They are Haunted!

Posted by Nikkib on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 15:33

Hello!

I work for a multi site retailer, and got a (serious) call from a store manager telling me her store was haunted and the staff keep seeing a ghost. I am clearly expected to do something, but I have no idea what!

We are a small company so I also double up as the area manager, so whichever way you look at it it falls to me to deal with.

Personally I don't want to get into a debate on whether ghosts exist, I want it dealt with so the team aren't scaring each other half to death and are happy to close the store each evening. I have asked what they want me to do and they aren't quite sure.

To the best of my knowledge the CIPD has yet to produce a fact sheet on this one, and I don't want to seem unsympathetic but don't want this dominating business.

Umm... Help?!?

Thank you for your subesquent wise words!
Nikki

Editor's Welcome

 

Hello! And welcome back as we enter 2012, with a busy year ahead of us all. With talk of double-dip recessions, a possible partial or even full break-up of the Eurozone and unemployment rates set to hit nearly 9%, topics such as organisational streamlining, staff resilience and talent management are likely to be on many an HR professional's lips over the next 12 months.
 
But to lighten the gloom here in the UK, we also have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and its attendant public holidays to look forward to at the start of June. Followed by two weeks of Olympic Games from 27 July to 12 August and the Paralympics from 29 August to 9 September, each generating their own excitement, but also issues to work through for hard-pressed HR departments trying to sort out the multifarious staffing issues in advance.
 
So with an interesting but challenging year to come, HRZone promises to be with you, supporting you all the way and providing our usual insightful blend of news, analysis, community blogs and expert comment to help you sort the wheat from the chaff. As ever, we love to hear from you too so feel free to either post your words of wisdom to our blog section yourself or, in the case of longer, more in-depth ‘expert voice’ articles, drop me a line with any ideas to cath.everett@siftmedia.co.uk.....
