Supporting the members of a Trade Body during Lockdown
We were delighted to be approached a few months ago by trade body BASDA (Business Application Software Developers Association) to take part in an online event they were running to support members dealing with a range of issues relating to COVID-19.
The series of events were designed to enable members to meet and share their experiences in a safe environment as well as obtain insights and advice from a number of external speakers.
Topics covered by the events included supporting the mental health and wellbeing of employees, the Government Job Retention Scheme and the management of the furlough process, as well as ensuring the Health and Safety of employees both whilst working from home and in the run up to, during and after their eventual return to the workplace.
The event was attended by a wide range of members and we were able to provide them with general guidance on the main areas for consideration during the completion of COVID risk assessments as well as answer specific questions raised by them.
We were also invited to collaborate with members in the production of a guide highlighting the top things to consider when returning to the workplace.
Homework , but not the school type
As businesses settle into the norm of home working, and with the likelihood of this continuing for several weeks if not months to come, David shares his thoughts on the impact of the new working world on the general health and well being of employees.
Those that are in the fortunate position to be able to work from home in these times of Coronavirus will undoubtedly agree that it has its charms, it has its benefits as well, and yet it has an amount of issues connected to it that can potentially have a negative effect on ones health.
Cramped working conditions, particularly for those that live in small flats can pose problems around how the work station can be set up. It can cause back and neck issues through poor working posture and despite good DSE Assessments it is not always possible to put into place the proper corrective measures that would normally be implemented.
