About this Edition
In this episode, we talk about how organisations can best support their employees’ health and safety, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing challenges of hybrid working. We explore the safety points employers need to consider for all staff, whether working in the office or remotely, and discuss health and safety risks that may emerge in the near future.
