Employers are again being urged to introduce workplace measures to ensure they have the necessary manpower when the London 2012 Olympics kick off.
The comments come after recent research by recruitment consultants Badenoch & Clark found that the vast majority of employers (79.9%) are still to establish a London 2012 leave policy. One in six survey respondents admitted that they would consider taking a ‘sickie’ to watch London 2012.
With just 12 months left until the Olympics begin, there are obvious advantages to addressing this issue sooner rather than later.
“Firms do have options and tools at their disposal to ensure everyone in the workplace can enjoy the Olympics without taking desperate measures to do so.”
