Coronavirus: Your workplace questions

At this difficult time, we'd like to offer people managers (and others) who are not CIPD Members an opportunity to ask questions about their specific workplace challenges.

We hope that collectively, the Community will feel able to chip in with guidance and signpost support and resources where these exist.

Thank you.

  • Hi all,

    I'm very new to all this, and currently studying with MOL for my HR Diploma.

    I work for a company providing third party labour to a very large global distributor.

    We have 9 employees working on a site near to London, so far I have been able to put them up in a hotel, but these are now closing.

    One can travel home, but I am being asked by the directors to book the remaining 8 employees into 2/3 Airbnb's.

    I do not feel comfortable doing this as we are effectively creating 2/3 new households, and sending them into sites to do jobs where they cannot maintain a 2 metre distance.

    Does any one have any thoughts on this?

    I have tried to explain this to them, but just state the works are essential (replacing some fencing that is already in place on site, for new).
