Is there any guidance for those working from home?

All colleagues working at home should complete the DSE risk assessment, (Intranet link) which identifies appropriate equipment to support you to work safely at home.

What is our position on Face-to-Face meetings?

Unit manager must advise potential visitors that they are only permitted on site if their attendance is business critical.
Update 7 Jan 2021

Face-to-face meetings should only take place where they can’t be done via Skype or via conference call and are business critical. It is anticipated that the vast majority of meetings can and should be undertaken remotely.

If on site meetings cannot be undertaken remotely and are business critical, allowance must be made for those who cannot or do not wish to attend in person. This may be for personal health or shielding reasons and they should attend via Skype or conference call. The needs of all team members must be respected and their participation welcomed. It is vital that managers and senior leaders in particular set the standard with social distancing and working from home wherever possible, while balancing the importance of visibility, leadership and support for the health and wellbeing of all our colleagues.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Most of us have had to sit and watch several vids on Royal Mail's new customer collection service. How do those who work from home get to see it and ask questions??
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
