This way your team can keep track.
Plan simply, visually and fairly with adhesive dots
Vacation planning – for many teams, it's a topic that sparks discussions year after year. Who gets to take time off? Which times are particularly popular? And how do we ensure the office isn't suddenly empty? Transparency is crucial here, especially in small companies and teams.
The good news: With a clear calendar and a simple system like adhesive dots, vacation planning can be not only fair, but also pleasant and visual.
Why vacation planning is so important
A clear vacation plan ensures:
🟡 Fairness in the team – everyone sees when others have time off.
🟠 Planning security – projects and deadlines can be better coordinated.
🔴 Relief for managers – fewer questions, less chaos.
🟣 Motivation – Employees can see their time off visibly in the calendar.
The typical problems when planning a vacation
🔵 Several colleagues want to take time off at the same time.
🟢 There is no overview of school holidays, bridge days & peak season.
🔵 Spontaneous changes cause confusion.
🟢 Agreements are only made verbally or via scattered emails.
These problems can be solved playfully with a clear, shared calendar.
Vacation planning with adhesive dots – here's how it works:
Our calendars with adhesive dots are ideal for team vacation planning. The principle is incredibly simple:
• Hang up a shared calendar
A large wall calendar in the office or team room immediately creates transparency. Everyone can see the months and weeks at a glance.
⚪ Colors for each person
Each employee is assigned their own dot color. This makes it immediately clear who is on vacation and when.
⚫ Stick in vacation
Vacation days or weeks are marked directly with the adhesive dots in the calendar. Simple, visual, and clear.
⚪ Identify bottlenecks immediately
If certain weeks have too many points, the team immediately sees: We need to talk and find solutions.
• Implement changes flexibly
If a vacation date changes, the dot is simply moved. No crossing out, no mess.
Example: This is what a team vacation schedule could look like
🟢 Anna (green): 1st-10th May
🔵 Jonas (blue): 15.-20. May
🔴 Sarah (red): 1st – 14th August
🟡 David (yellow): August 10–20
One glance at the calendar – and everyone knows.
Tips & tricks for relaxed holiday planning
🟠 Start early: The earlier you hang up the calendar, the better you can avoid conflicts.
🔴 Mark bridge days: Use extra points to highlight the "hot days" to prevent overlaps.
🟡 Conducting team meetings: The calendar is the basis, decisions are made together – fairly and openly.
🔵 Combine absences: Include not only vacation but also business trips, working from home, or important deadlines.
