Major sporting events don’t stop at the final whistle – and neither do their workplace impacts.
With the FIFA World Cup 2026 taking place across multiple time zones, many UK employers will need to manage late finishes, short-notice leave requests, sickness absence and potential conduct issues. Without clear expectations and a consistent approach, these challenges can quickly affect morale, productivity and fairness at work.
That’s why our Associate Member at Citation have created a FREE World Cup 2026 HR & Health & Safety checklist – designed to help employers plan ahead and avoid common pitfalls.
