The new normal: managing issues around coronavirus in the workplace
Managing people in the workplace has become even tougher, with HR professionals and occupational health the first port of call for a host of questions that hadn’t been considered before March. This session will delve deeper into the options open to HR professionals when dealing with staff, including issues around privacy considerations for a staff member with coronavirus, payment of staff under quarantine, as well as strategies for minimising disruption and maintaining business as usual.
