Given the crisis facing most employers around the country at present, this podcast (which was essentially broadcast as a webinar) provides essential guidance to employers. Some of the topics addressed include the following: when can you stand-down staff and what restrictions exist around such a step; what other steps can you take and should you be taking in these times; what consultation obligations you might have; how to deal with resistance and interventions from staff on proposed employer measures; and understanding the challenges of a working-from-home model.

Many employees around the world have, as a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, been asked or directed by their employers to work from home. Those employees can count themselves fortunate that their employers have continued to, for now, employ them and pay them their salary and wages. However, at a time when the economy is already massively distressed, there is a significant impact to organisations of employees working from home across the following areas: reduced productivity; disruption to routine; employee isolation and impact on morale; and heightened mental health impact to staff, Even if working from home is your only option to keep your organisation viable at this point, it is important to understand the impact and ways in which your organisation might be able to mitigate this impact. Joydeep Hor, PCS Founder & Managing Principal, continues his discussion of critical COVID-19 issues for Australian employers and in this podcast discusses topics such as: how employers can make working from home better; understand the "rules" that need to be put into place; handling performance-type conversations; and striking the balance between understanding and firmness.
