Returns to work are set to become even more challenging with the advent of hybrid and remote working, to the extent that the traditional toolkit may no longer be fit for purpose.
In this episode, our employment and regulatory teams discuss five new challenges for HR and legal teams, and share their insights and advice surrounding:
- Occupational stress
- Supervision and performance management
- Personal injury
- Training and career development
- Long Covid
There are some recurring themes, including:
- The risk that employers underestimate their legal obligations;
- The need to think about the individual employee and take a tailored approach;
- The importance of effective employee communications; and
- Maintaining a complete record of steps taken to support employees and minimise health and safety and other risks.
Our listener question addresses the timely topic of mandatory vaccinations at work, and what we’ve been seeing and advising clients.
