Employers Must Monitor Workloads to Protect Staff Wellbeing
UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea commented on the publication of Sir Charlie Mayfield's Keep Britain Working review, stating:
"It's in all our interests that workers keep well and are supported back to their jobs should they fall ill or get injured. Prevention is key to stopping staff being signed off in the first place. That means managers providing the right help early on."
McAnea emphasized the importance of supporting staff with disabilities and introducing robust standards for workplace adjustments. She also suggested that raising statutory sick pay would help prevent staff from working while ill, thereby protecting their health and that of their colleagues.
A key priority for employers should be to keep people with disabilities in jobs and provide suitable adjustments to their workplaces quickly.
