Update on Offices
Following the update this week, it appears that the majority of staff are unlikely to return to office based work until next year at the earliest.
Unite again commends the cautious approach but has again raised concerns that working from home doesn’t suit everyone and there are many reasons for this. As such, it is essential that each individuals personal circumstances are taken into account and that any concerns raised are not only listened to, but are addressed and resolved satisfactorily. We are really pleased that some members have already been listened to and that they are now in a better work position.
We have also raised concerns that whilst the weather has been good over the last few months, individuals may struggle more as we move towards winter and being in the same space 24/7 so the Company does need to look at the support being given and respond accordingly to any concerns raised in the future.
If you are in the position where you are finding, or begin to find working at home difficult (for any reason), please contact us so that we can try to help:
Outsourcing
For those of you that watched John Foley’s video presentation and were concerned when he mentioned further outsourcing, we have raised our concerns and been assured that there are no plans approved for anything in the short term. As always we’ll keep an eye on any developments and communicate to members as and when we can.
Feel free to pass this on to your colleagues who may not be members.
