MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS: Alone Together podcast: Staying protected in the workplace

Description

Martie van Tongeren, professor of occupational and environmental health at the University of Manchester, tells the podcast that employers need to “redesign their work in a number of different ways” after the pandemic.

He said: “In the past, we’ve had a system where we say, ‘Okay, you can work from home if you really need to.’

“I think we probably need to turn it upside down now: so if you can work from home, work from home. And if you don’t need to go into work, don’t go into work.”
