Our company recently implemented a new policy that requires employees to work on public holidays, but many of them are reluctant to do so. How can I use psychological tactics to make people more likely to comply with this policy?

One potential approach to increase compliance with this policy is to introduce elements of choice and autonomy. Employees should have the opportunity to choose which public holiday they would like to work, if they so desire. Alternatively, offering remote working options or allowing them to flexibly adjust their working hours could increase employee engagement and provide an attractive alternative.

Furthermore, since this policy may be viewed as an infringement upon traditional holiday celebrations, providing additional benefits such as compensatory time off or bonuses could help offset any displeasure surrounding the policy change.

Finally, strong communication and engagement from management can go a long way towards ensuring employee understanding and acceptance of the new policy.

To increase compliance with the new policy, I would emphasize to employees the importance of their contributions in terms of both individual and collective benefit. For example, by emphasizing how their efforts will help the company succeed or how working on public holidays will make them stand out among their peers. Other possible strategies may include offering additional benefits to those who work on public holidays or creating a sense of obligation by highlighting how this policy is beneficial to all.
