We always have SOP(Standard Operating Procedure) in our record for all the tasks performed by team members. If any of our team members want to take long-planned leaves, we assign temporary resources for the clients who will be assisted with cross-training before leaving for the vacation.

Likewise, if any unplanned leaves are taken, we allocate quick resources for the clients who will refer to SOP to perform the tasks. Thus, our team always has a buffer resource to deal with those cases at each level.
