What's uniquely topical/trending for HR in the Housing/Social Care/Support Sector at the moment please? (apart from Supreme Court judgement on NMW)

Jo

As a candidate for a final stage interview for a HR Director in the housing/social care/support sector would anyone be happy to share any insight into what's trending/topical for HR and the senior leadership teams in-sector, but which may not apply to other sectors?  Obviously the implications of the Supreme Court judgment in the MENCAP case is relevant, as is recruitment and retention post pandemic, but is there anything else that I'm missing? Or is the question, what are the sector issues for returning to the workplace post pandemic?  All input/guidance gratefully received!

    I completely agree and covered this in my presentation. It's a huge, and controversial area, one in which I hope/expect the Government will need to provide direction and make changes to current law, particularly as housing and social care, Covid and discrimination law either prevent or constrain it. And Article 8 of HRA also puts limitations on it so it'll be very interesting to see how this one develops! Another complexity for the sector around vaccinations is the fact that they rely on a mixed economy workforce i.e.employees, contractors, freelancers, volunteers etc. so consistency and safety will be a consideration for contracts of engagement/for services.... Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Greatly appreciated. It reinforces that I'm on the right lines and not missing anything - yet!
