Worried about return to work planning for your business and employees?
From the 1st August the UK workforce in England has been informed by the government that they can return to work, consistent with your ongoing responsibility for the management of health and safety of your employees to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable that the working environments are safe. Whilst this is great news for the economy it will no doubt create lots of questions and problems that require solutions for different businesses and industries.
There will still be the option to work from home, however are staff doing this safely? Is their well-being supported? Is their mental health affected? For those you decide to bring back to work, are the environments fully protected and risk assessed? Are you fully compliant with the governments new Covid-19 secure guidelines? Are you fully aware of all of your responsibilities?
Managing return to work in the ‘new normal’ with COVID-19 needs careful management addressing health and safety , occupational health and social interactions.
