A shared holiday calendar for Philippine teams and overseas call center clients
Map Philippine and client holidays to real coverage, approval windows, and customer promises.
A list of holiday names does not show whether a customer queue is open. The shared calendar should show the date in both locations, affected service hours, expected staffing, client decision coverage, and the owner who approved each exception.
Add the promises that can cross the closure: callbacks, appointments, complaints, payment questions, and cases waiting for specialist authority. Give each an acceptance deadline and backup route before the reduced schedule starts.
Publish one controlled version where agents can see changes. A calendar invite, workforce schedule, and client email may disagree after an update. Record the effective time and tell supervisors which source controls the customer message.
After each holiday, compare the calendar with arrivals, unresolved work, missed commitments, and backup use. Keep local holidays and client holidays distinct in the analysis so the next plan addresses the actual gap.
