LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Poor staff management 'could increase personal injury claims'  Employers have been warned that they face a spate of personal injury claims if they do not address staffing issues and reduce their employees' workloads. Amy Paxton, a senior employment consultant at Croner, said personal injury claims are just one example of the fallout employers can face if they do not adequately manage work-related stress brought on by staff working through their holidays. Businesses were also warned that they could also face high levels of absenteeism, increased staff turnover, recruitment costs and insurance premiums, low staff moral and enforcement action. "The practice of working through periods of annual leave should be discouraged," Ms Paxton said. "If an employee is suggesting that they are working during their holidays because they feel they have no alternative, then an employer should consider what support can be given." Compensation claimants seeking an accident at work solicitor have a good chance of a successful claim after the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health recently warned the government that there is "no scope for cuts" within the Health and Safety Executive.
