Face to Face

Post by TheStrangler »

What are the current guidelines or rm/cwu policy on face to face meetings particularly in the current situation?
Can they insist on you going to your place of work or are you entitled to meet at another place?
Given the pandemic situation is a video face to face recommended policy? Rm cwu agreed on this at all?

This might help - quote is from RM's Coronavirus Q & A document dated 21 Jan 21 here: https://www.myroyalmail.com/Coronavirus
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.
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.
