Unfair Workplace Practices 🚫 It's disappointing when companies disregard employees' well-being. Not giving a day off on public holidays is a clear violation of workers' rights. Adding demerits for small mistakes or not following SOPs only adds to the pressure, creating a toxic work environment. Employees deserve respect, fair treatment, and the right to recharge, especially on public holidays. Let's raise awareness about these unjust policies and work towards creating a healthier and more balanced workplace for everyone. #UnfairWorkplacePolicies #EmployeeRights #WorkplaceJustice #FairTreatment

🌼🐝 Happy Labour Day! 🐝🌼 Hopefully, it's not too late for me to post about this. Today, as we celebrate the contributions of workers everywhere, let's take a moment to reflect on the importance of teamwork between employees and employers. Just like the beautiful relationship between bees and flowers, where both entities rely on each other for survival and success, the collaboration between employees and employers is essential for thriving in the workplace. As employees, we play a crucial role in helping our companies achieve their goals and visions. Our dedication and hard work contribute to the growth and success of the organization. Similarly, as employers, it's our responsibility to support and nurture our employees' passions, personal goals, and growth. By fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration, we create an ecosystem where everyone can flourish. On this Labour Day, let's reaffirm our commitment to working together, supporting each other's aspirations, and building a brighter future for all. Together, we can achieve greatness! 💪 #LabourDay #Teamwork #TogetherWeThrive

What’s in the news for workers hoping for more flexibility in their working week? Well, the Government is currently looking at strengthening employees' right to request a four-day compressed working week. This aims to help balance work/life responsibilities and make things like arranging childcare more affordable. Whilst employees already have the right to request this, companies are not obligated to agree and can refuse for any valid business reasons. Although the details have not been revealed, new plans aim to give employees greater rights and make it harder for businesses to turn down requests.
