In the first of our “Sixty Second Read” series, our Flexible Working expert Neville Henderson looks at the changing demands and the future of work post COVID-19.
In the current unprecedented circumstances, many businesses have necessarily implemented short term changes in ways of working to allow for business continuity and meet demand. These may have been simply adjusting shift patterns to allow less interactions between employees including:
Staggering start and finish times to prevent logjams whether at clocking devices or hygiene facilities
Expanding work opening hours to allow for fewer people present on site at any time e.g. moving from single to double shift with reduced presence, thus allowing for better social distancing and access to hygiene facilities
