Sorry seems to be the hardest word
April 27th 2009 The vast majority of UK employers fail to apologise when their staff suffer work-related accidents or injuries, according to a new survey from the National Accident Helpline.
In the survey of employees who had been injured at work, 97 per cent said that their boss had not taken any personal responsibility for what had happened.
John Campbell, legal director of National Accident Helpline, said that the results showed that employers still did not take enough personal responsibility for the welfare of their staff: “Health and safety in the workplace must be more than just a box ticking exercise; if an employer is not truly invested in ensuring his employees are safe and well then, not only will he have difficulties retaining staff but he will leave himself open to financial redress should an accident occur.” More articles from HSM News Desk: |
