As businesses grapple (again) with how to safely reopen their
physical premises to employees post-lockdown, many are considering
the option of private COVID-19 testing or other health checks for
staff. While there is currently no requirement for employers to
carry out COVID-19 tests on their workforce, many organisations are
considering doing so anyway, recognising that it may reassure
employees and customers and ultimately provide a safer workplace.
In this webinar, we'll help you weigh up the benefits of
workplace testing against the legal risks.
