Public holidays in Cambodia are very important!

Public holidays are an integral part of every country’s culture, providing citizens with an opportunity to step back from their daily lives, reflect on their country’s history, and celebrate its achievements. In Cambodia, public holidays are an important element of the country’s cultural identity and an essential part of corporate governance practices.

In Cambodia, public holidays are a mix of national and religious holidays, with many commemorating the country's history and traditions.

Public holidays have a significant impact on business management practices in Cambodia. Providing employees with opportunities to rest and spend time with their families helps improve work-life balance and employee morale. In addition, public holidays help enhance cultural understanding and diversity within an organization, promoting an inclusive workplace.

However, public holidays can also have a negative impact on corporate governance, such as reduced productivity and increased costs due to downtime and operational disruptions. Therefore, it is important for organizations to adopt best practices to effectively manage public holidays.

Best practices for corporate governance during public holidays include adequate preparation in advance, communicating work arrangements and schedules with employees, providing flexible work arrangements such as remote work or flextime, managing employee leave requests, and complying with labor laws and regulations .
