When Even Santa Needs a Workforce Plan

This Christmas, we released a short video on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok that tells a familiar story — with a twist.
Santa has a problem.
Not magic. Not reindeer.
People.
Elves are hard to find, schedules don’t align, and deadlines don’t wait. Sound familiar?
That’s exactly the point of Nrolled’s Christmas video: to show that workforce challenges don’t disappear just because it’s the holidays. In fact, they usually get worse.
A Light Story About a Real Problem
The video uses humour and a classic Christmas setting to highlight something businesses deal with every day:
Last-minute staffing needs
Unclear availability
Manual coordination
Cost surprises
Stress for both managers and workers
Santa’s workshop is just a stand-in for event venues, kitchens, hospitality teams, and service businesses everywhere.
When planning is informal and reactive, things break — even at the North Pole.
Why We Chose This Story
At Nrolled, we talk a lot about planning, visibility, and care — but those ideas can feel abstract.
Christmas felt like the right moment to make them tangible.
The video reflects three things we believe deeply:
Workforce planning is not just an operational issue — it’s a human one.When systems fail, people pay the price.
Good tools reduce stress, waste, and last-minute heroics.Less chaos means better work for everyone.
Reliability is built before the rush starts.Not on the day everything is already on fire.
From Santa to the Real World
Behind the humor is Nrolled’s everyday reality:
Helping businesses plan staffing needs in advance
Giving workers clarity, respect, and faster payments
Reducing hidden costs caused by poor coordination
Turning scattered information into something reliable and usable
Whether it’s a Christmas rush, a busy wedding season, or a fully booked weekend, the problem is the same — and so is the solution.
Plan for Less. Get More.
The video closes with the idea that defines Nrolled:
Plan for less chaos, risk, cost, waste.
Because when workforce planning works, everyone benefits — clients, workers, and yes, even Santa.

From all of us at Nrolled, we wish you a calmer, better-planned holiday season — and a New Year with fewer workforce headaches and more time for what really matters.
