Managing workplaces during and after the Covid-19 crisis is a potential minefield for many companies, especially as staff may be unclear about what to do if they feel at risk
This is already leading to a rise in Employment Tribunal claims, together with cases of false absenteeism and a potential for a rise in sexual harrassment issues

With social distancing rules likely to stay in place there may be an increase in sexual and other harrassment allegations

Definitively, there is a likely rise in employee grievance and misconduct.
