Some patterns of work will already be established, but there may be occasions where individuals may still need to change work routines/hours during this period. You should reassure your staff that they can only do the best they can in the circumstances and offer flexibility, where possible.
Be mindful that if a member of your team is unable to work, or has limited capacity due to caring responsibilities, this may impact on colleagues and you need to ensure that this is managed carefully.
All staff should ensure they take adequate rest breaks and not work excessive hours. Staff should also be encouraged to take leave and spread it out throughout the year, particularly from a wellbeing perspective and to take time out from the work environment.
In discussion with your member of staff, establish a sustainable work pattern that best fits the individual's personal circumstances and the work priorities. Depending on the nature of the work, discuss realistic completion dates. This will help to give focus and should aim to identify what can be left until a later date if necessary.
Depending on the nature of their role some team members will have a very high workload or conversely they may not have much to do. Consider how you can help to spread the load, where possible, and if an individual has insufficient work encourage them to undertake some online e-learning/staff development as appropriate.
