Ok, let’s jump straight in!

In this week’s episode we’re thinking about Supporting People with ME/Long Covid who are already in work. These will be people with mild to moderate symptoms that allow them to carry out some work but that also require them to be careful over how they manage their condition. They can have some better days, but they may also need longer periods of recovery.

Chances are that if they are already in work, they may have had a conversation with their line manager about their condition. However, this may not be sufficient and may be a local agreement with the line manager rather than anything official.

I’m not here to remind you of your legal responsibilities. You or your HR team will deal with that. I’m here to give you some guidance around the more practical side of things.

That’s it for today everybody. As I’ve mentioned, this episode is one of a short series for Organisations. The aim is to help educate leaders, managers and HR teams about ME & Long Covid. Please feel free to share this series with your organisation.
