Holidays on-line

Google does it again! We just moved our office holiday calendar on-line and it is great!

Until this week, all the docs in our practice requested and recorded holidays on a paper calendar. That meant that we had to be at the office to check the calendar and write in our requests.

Now, the paper calendar has been tranferred to Google Calender. Each doc has his/her own holiday calendar, which Google merges onto a master calendar.

My wife and I just decided on a trip we'd like to take. Rather than waiting until I'm back at the office on Monday to book the days off work, I just checked the calendar on-line and submitted my requests by email.

We can also clearly see how many people are away during any given week, in order to avoid leaving the practice short-handed. At year end, tallying up the number of holidays taken will be easier, as each physician's calendar can be reviewed individually.

Easier holiday planning brought to you by Google.
