Managing Home/Hybrid Worker’s Health And Safety
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) home working guidance is for anyone who employs home workers, including those who split their time between their workplace and home (sometimes called hybrid working).
The guidance has been redesigned and expanded to provide more detail on straightforward actions to manage home workers’ health and safety.
This includes the risks of working with display screen equipment (DSE) at home as well as stress and poor mental health.
There is also advice for home workers themselves, as well as a video and practical tips on good posture when working with DSE.
Employers have the same health and safety responsibilities for people working at home as for any other worker.

What’s Your Exit Strategy?
The ultimate aim of every business owner is to build a company that has value, so that it can be sold or transferred, allowing them to exit gracefully and profitably.
The COVID pandemic has led many people to re-evaluate their priorities and we have seen an increase in the number of clients seeking advice on developing exit strategies.
There are many issues to consider:
- When do you want to retire?
- Can the business be sold to your employees?
- Is a trade sale more likely?
- Are there children involved?
- How much is the business worth?
- What needs to be done to enhance the value of the business?
- How long will it take?
- Do you want/need to stay on after sale or transfer?
- What are the tax consequences?
We specialise in developing tailored exit strategies that help our clients realise the true value of their business and when the time is right help prepare for and negotiate the sale.
