The World Cup football championships take place from Sunday 20 November to Sunday 18 December.
Will Brazil win for the sixth time? Or are England and Wales in with a chance this time?
With England’s first game next Monday 21 November at 1pm and Wales playing on Friday 25 November at 10am, we appreciate that colleagues will be wondering how they can keep up with World Cup progress within work hours.
Watching or listening to the games
Managers will need to balance the needs of the business whilst allowing employees to enjoy the World Cup - and it is important that operational deadlines and customer service requirements continue to be met.
However, managers will have authority locally to exercise a flexible approach that allows colleagues to watch the game whilst also ensuring that frames are cleared.
Please check with your manager for arrangements in your unit and ensure you work with your manager to ensure delivery of a normal service if you are watching the game.
Displaying flags
Flags on vehicles can be a distraction to other road users and poorly positioned items can block vision. Poorly fitted items can fall off and be an obstruction or hazard. Flags also introduce a risk of confrontation with other road users and pedestrians. For this reason we do not permit celebratory flags to be displayed on any of our vehicles.
Let’s work together to deliver normal service and enjoy the games. May the best team win!
#We have the right amount of goals-but not necessarily in the right net
