Seismic shifts do not quickly revert back to their previous state when the pressure is released. The shift for nearly half the UK’s workforce to working from home during the Covid19 pandemic is a seismic one and similarly, it is not one which will snap back into “conventional” working practices any time soon.
The prospect for employers, facing a deep recession, of reducing their expensive office costs is an attractive one. This, coupled with predictions that the ramifications of Covid19 and social distancing will continue well into 2021, will mean that while some of the workforce will return to office-based work, many more will not. To manage home and agile workers and maintain performance and business cohesion, employers will need to address the ramifications of these changes and understand the steps they will need to take in response.
Drawing on expertise from regulatory, employment and data protection teams, Anthony Collins Solicitors have produced a toolkit and guidance for home and agile workers. It covers, in a practical and comprehensive approach, the issues employers need to address to ensure the following;
- Compliance with key health and safety regulations both general and specific to home and agile working
- Monitoring, reporting and recording health and safety compliance
- Impact of employment legislation on home and agile working
- Guidance on new policies and procedure
- Best HR practice; ensuring effective management of employees and protection from bullying and harassment
- Key considerations for processing of data and confidentiality
The cost of the Toolkit and Guidance is £995 plus VAT.
