A recent survey found that a fifth (19%) of UK employees do not know how their employer would support them if they had to take time off work due to ill-health or an injury.

It is crucial that employees, whether new or longstanding are aware of how they will be looked after should they become ill or injured. Sharing such information is not only beneficial to your team, but it will demonstrate compassion for individuals within the workplace and in a broader sense.

Make sure you allow visibility to sickness policies and that a copy is provided to every new starter.

Sitrus have supported many clients to navigate redundancy processes, not only ensuring that they are undertaken legally, but also in a sensitive and compassionate way.

The furlough scheme is due for closure at the end of September and some employers may need to make difficult decisions about their workforce.

There are some important steps that must be taken if redundancies are required.

1. Ensure that you allow enough time to undertake a consultation process, complying with legal minimum timescales where they exist.

2. The criteria for selecting employees for redundancy must be robust, objective and well documented.

3. Ensure that those employees who are selected for redundancy have the right of appeal.

4. You must consider other suitable alternative roles within the business for individuals at risk of redundancy.

If you need expert advice, we can help to ensure that the process is followed correctly and legally.

Have you recently asked your team how they are feeling about a return to the office?

Many businesses are starting to reopen their office spaces, encouraging staff to return on a full-time or flexi-basis.

Those team members who have worked from home or remotely during the past 18 months may feel some level of concern and anxiety about their return to the workplace.

You may wish to consider carrying out an engagement survey to find out how individuals within your team are feeling about a possible return to the office. If individuals are feeling anxious, work on ways to remedy their concerns together.

This will enable you to put a plan of action into place to support all team members on their safe return to the office environment.

If you think this could be beneficial to your business, contact us today and we will guide you through this process.

Engaged employees are happy employees, thriving within the organisations they are part of.
Such employees perform better in their roles, with 89% of those excelling in creativity and innovation and 79% being more committed and loyal to their positions.

Those who are disengaged are more likely to skip work, negatively influence colleagues and drive customers away through poor attitude.

It is important for employers to understand the true value and potential of engaged employees, and the hindrance that unengaged employees can cause. It is critical that your team are fully present and motivated at work and that they understand and appreciate their role and responsibilities.

The article below highlights three core ways to create sustainable employee happiness in the workplace.
