Employee health and safety is paramount

• The health and safety of our workforce is the number one priority and should

underpin the decisions you as a line manager make with, and for, your team.

• This pack complements the COVID-safe workplaces: Department of Health

transition plan and will help you fulfil your line manager responsibilities.

• The transition plan is guiding the staged and gradual return of employees to their

workplace (principal place of work) and has been developed for Department of

Health employees specifically.

• We acknowledge that every team has different needs and work styles, and that

you need to work to develop solutions that suit you and your team.

• This pack aims to enable us all to respond effectively to any changing

circumstances or directives by building adaptive capability within the workforce.
