The future of the workplace - what you need to know

Restrictions will start to be eased across the whole of England in the coming months. If the proposed timeline goes to plan. With this in mind, employers, employees and workers should talk as early as possible about any plans to return to work. The same applies for any plans to change back to working from home.

As you plan for re-opening, there are a number of health and safety considerations. Employers are facing many difficult and untested employment law issues as the UK rolls out its COVID-19 vaccination programme.

It's a good idea to talk about:

  • when staff might return to the workplace 
  • how staff will travel to and from work
  • how health and safety is being reviewed and managed – you should share the latest risk assessment
  • any planned adjustments to the workplace, for example additional hand washing facilities, staggering start and finish times to avoid overcrowding or floor markings to help people stay apart
  • if there might be a phased return of the workforce, for example some staff returning before others
  • working from home arrangements

Wherever possible, employers should speak to staff before making a decision or putting plans in writing. This can help staff understand, and feel included in decisions.

If there are any proposed changes that affect the written terms of someone's contract, employers must consult with the employee.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ and returning to the workplace will need to be assessed depending on your employees individual situation. Our employment experts are on hand to assist you with practical steps to reopen your workspace and take into account an employee  that may need tailored steps to prevent grievances.
