This week, Colin talks briefly about some of the things you should be considering as you return to work after the COVID lockdown, from people and commuting, to safety measures and remote working.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Working from home may well be a far more viable option for your business, going forward. Consider carefully, whether allowing your staff to work remotely is something you can permit from now on.
Safety measures at work are necessary, but it’s also incumbent upon us all to show respect and care for those we work alongside. If we feel unwell, raise this concern and make sure you’re not putting others at risk.
Consider the safety measure you’re putting into place. Remember that some measures may make others feel more at risk, so consider wholesale changes when it comes to guidelines.
