Hello
I've been asked to comment on the Personnel Today Friday Podcast about
whether employers should inform 'vulnerable' employees - people with health
conditions that could make them vulnerable to infections such as swine flu - if
there are people in the workplace who they might come in contact with who
have the infection. What would you consider good practice in this area - to
inform all staff? To make a particular effort to inform 'vulnerable' staff (is this
even practical?)? Should managers be briefed to inform staff (by email?) every
time someone may have swine flu or would there be a risk of spreading panic?
Or ist this just something for HR to worry about, i.e. a 'management' issue?
Any comments very gratefully received.
