As of 1 April 2022, all final COVID restrictions are lifted. This passes the responsibility for making decisions and keeping staff safe from the Government over to business. While you can roll back any changes you’ve made over the past couple of years, it’s worth taking time to do this strategically.

The scheme has changed over the year and will now run until the end of April 2021.

Over the last few weeks, the government has lifted restrictions allowing some people to return to work. However, to abide by new social distancing rules and protect employees, businesses need to adapt to the new normal that so many of us have already been implementing in our personal lives.
But what does the future of work look like? What can businesses do to protect their employees?
