Workplace and employment matters during COVID-19
An information session to help you manage COVID-19 workplace and employment challenges
The way you run your medical practice has most likely changed in this COVID-19 era. As well as introducing stricter protocols you may need to reduce staff hours, due to fewer in-person consultations.
How do you navigate these issues, while looking after your more vulnerable staff and others attending the practice?
Avant’s recent online ‘Ask the Expert’ event gathered together our top advisers to clarify common issues for practice owners and managers, so you can confidently face the challenges at this time.
In this one-hour information session, our expert panel presents solutions to, and answer questions on, managing:
- vulnerable workers
- practice staff returning to work at the practice
- the health and safety of workers and others in the practice
- reducing an employee’s hours of work if the practice is quiet.
