In this episode of the podcast I cover up to date key information for employers to consider.
Correct as at 09/03/2020.
In this episode I will cover:
Action Points
1) Issue a notice to all staff requiring them to inform you immediately if they are at risk because of travel to a location deemed by the Home office to be a risk.
2) Issue a notice to all staff reminding them of the requirement to properly wash their hands and contain any coughs and sneezes.
3) Encourage good hygiene in the workplace and consider increasing cleaning and providing additional sanitising equipment and materials.
4) If your business is such that customers and visitors come onto your premises, display additional notices about hand washing, provide sanitiser and put up notices asking customers to inform you if they have been to one of the affected areas in recent weeks.
5) If you intend to implement a policy of minimum time between returning from holiday to returning to work, notify all staff and inform them how you plan on dealing with this time. If you are going to require them to take holiday for example for these extra days make it clear that you are doing so and refer to the relevant part of your contracts and/or procedures.
6) Review your business continuity plan.
7) Consider your ability to work from home and explore what resources are available to you to enable your business to continue to operate as smoothly as possible.
8) Assign one or two senior people in the business as responsible for monitoring the situation on the www.gov.uk website and within the business.
9) If in doubt seek advice. We are talking to businesses on a daily basis about these issues and we can share best practice, latest advice and support with you.

In this episode of the Podcast I interview Sheryl Andrews about one of the critical skills required by great employers and managers, the ability to listen! About Sheryl Author, Speaker and Coach are just a few of the roles she holds. Sheryl has a vision of a world where everyone feels heard, understood and valued. It is her personal mission to change the way the world listens. Listening is one of those skills we are quick to criticise when it is not happening, but few invest in developing their listening skills.
As; “The Listening Detective” with her famous deerstalker hat, she is well known for her fun and engaging talks sharing all aspects of listening, the good; the bad and the sad.
As the Founder of Step by Step Listening and lead coach, she creates a safe to speak environment that gives individuals and groups the opportunity to chat with the purpose of listening to their own inner wisdom.
As an author of Manage your critic – From overwhelm to Clarity in 7 and soon to be published Do< Delegate or Ditch she openly shares her own journey and the journey of her clients to demonstrate how listening can transform your relationship and practical ways to get started. Sheryl continues to write and collate stories to shine the light on those that listen whilst raising awareness and changing the assumption that everyone can and should be able to listen.
