PODCAST | Can HR tell employees to ignore the NHS COVID-19 app?

Over the last few weeks, the term ‘pingdemic’ has hit the headlines, which refers to being notified by the NHS COVID app and then being told to isolate, according to iNews.

In this podcast, Sophie Parrott, Online Editor at HR Grapevine, sits down with Daniel Cave, Head of Content at Executive Grapevine Digital Media to discuss the ‘pingdemic’.

With a recent Guardian article reporting on predictions that up to 10million could be told to isolate in the coming weeks, this could have follow-on impacts for employers and HR.

The pair look into how businesses say they are being impacted by this, explore whether HR can ask staff to ignore the ‘pings’ and share examples of how HR can manage the impact of isolation on businesses.
