Some offices give employees time off during holidays, but others don't. Some even make employees come to work on Christmas Day or during other festive seasons.

For me, I don't think it's fair to make an employee work during holidays. I think it should be voluntary - if you want to come to work, you can, but if you don't, you can stay home and celebrate with your family and friends.

Giving employees official holidays during their festive seasons should be part of their benefit package. I say "their festive seasons" because Christians may want to celebrate Christmas, Muslims may want to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, and Hindus may want to celebrate Diwali.

This is also a way to promote diversity in the workplace. If Christians take Christmas off, Muslims and Hindus can work, and then when Muslims take Eid off, Christians and Hindus can work. This way, you can regulate your workforce and give employees the freedom to celebrate their holidays.

By doing this, you prioritize employees' satisfaction and well-being. This is why people don't leave jobs, they leave toxic work environments. When you make people feel comfortable and loved, they will stay, and it will increase productivity and mutual respect.

Closing offices during holidays for like two weeks might affect business revenue, but how much?

You've been working from January to December, you should have sustainable investments and is it worth making employees miss out on time with their families and friends? I don't think so.

But what do you think about making someone's work mandatory during holidays?

Making employee work during holidays is something that should not be encouraged because these are season's where employees take time off and relax with family and friends and may even go for vacation and this is even good for the working environment as it will increase productivity in the place of work

Here in our place or country on which government agencies or institutions doesnt really have work on weekends and in holidays but if we do speak about into those private companies then theres no week ends or holidays. It might be that there's some 1 day day-off but theres that kind of mandatory that you do need to work into those holiday season on which i could say that it is really that too much but due to the reality of life that people do need up to work to earn money then they will really be just that getting abide on what are the rules of their company. Good for you if they will be at least compensating some double pay once you do work on a holiday season on which at least it do ease out that kind of frustration on having a duty or work into those days.

If you do have that a family to raise then you would be wanting on having this kind of set up on which having some double pay on holiday work on which you wont be minding whether you do want to have a family time or not or simply having the rest day. Lets just accept that this might be that not looking good for most people since we do deserve rest but cant be denied that there are people who do really need up to have some work to earn more because they do have other responsibilities on which they are really that trying out to deal with.
