Government consultation on disability reporting
In response to the National Disability Strategy the government is consulting on workforce disability reporting for large employers (250 employees or more). The consultation is seeking views on how best to improve reporting practices to build more transparency and support cultural changes around disabilities at work. The consultation closes on 25 March 2022 and you can have your say here.
UK trial of four-day working week
20% reduction in hours – 100% pay retained – 100% employee productivity. The four-day working week pilot scheme starts in June. The aim is to gather evidence to present a test case to government and business leaders that a four-day week can work by increasing overall wellbeing without a negative impact on productivity (and actually boost business performance and profits). What’s your view?
