We’re approaching the time of year when a flurry of holiday requests land in your inbox. And this year there is more to consider than usual. Your decisions may depend on your staffing levels needed through an extended winter lockdown, holiday build-up, and considerations for those with young families.

The scheme has changed over the year and will now run until the end of April 2021.
Managing employee wellbeing is always important. Right now, though, it’s vital. Many people struggle with the effects lockdown on their personal and work lives. It’s made a lot of us realise how important having a routine can be.
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?

This is a guest post by the wife of our MD.
What was your vision when the lockdown was first announced and you realised you’d be working from home and educating your child/children? I had an ethereal image of baking cookies; educational arts and crafts; calm and quiet storytime. All of this wholesome, quality learning would then be followed by amazing professional productivity on my part. In other words, I’d be effortlessly spinning all of the plates in my life while working from home with kids.
