As the UK experiences one of the coldest winters in recent years, with temperatures plummeting to -14°C, businesses face new challenges in maintaining operations, particularly in the face of heavy snowfall and icy conditions. Activ People HR, a leading provider of HR software solutions, recognises the need for adaptable workforce management during such extreme weather conditions.
The recent amber warnings for heavy snow showers in Scotland, coupled with the coldest January night since 2019, have prompted concerns about commuting to the workplace. The Met Office warns of treacherous pavements and roads, creating potential disruptions in the daily commute for employees.
Key Points:
- Rising Cold, Rising Costs: With temperatures hitting record lows, businesses may witness an increase in employees opting to come into the office for heating, rather than choosing flexible working from the warmth of their homes. The strain on utility bills and the overall cost of living becomes a pertinent issue.
- Adapting to the Winter Chill: Activ People HR emphasises the importance of flexible work arrangements during extreme weather conditions. The software offers features that facilitate efficient remote working, ensuring business continuity while accommodating the well-being and safety of employees.
- Navigating Workforce Challenges: Unpredictable weather conditions can pose challenges to workforce management. Activ People HR's robust HR software enables businesses to navigate these challenges seamlessly, offering tools for effective communication, schedule adjustments, and performance tracking.
- Health and Safety Priority: As the UK Health Security Agency issues an amber cold weather alert, Activ People HR encourages businesses to prioritise the health and safety of their employees. The software aids in managing attendance, ensuring that employees in affected areas can work from home without compromising their well-being.
