There are notes of Spring in the air, the birds are singing, preparing their nests & some warmer weather (for some UK counties) has helped lift spirits & motivate people.
Since Boris Johnsons proposed roadmap out of the Covid19 pandemic was announced just over a week ago; there has been a more positive & buoyant mood across the UK. Events have been planned, dates are being set & all against a backdrop of unknowns & uncertainties. As our Prime Minister has stated, moving forward we are looking at “data not dates” as there is great caution for our future.
However, with the March budget looming & the ‘Stay at Home’ order set to be released from the end of March; employers & employees alike are feeling hopeful that slowly & surely the UK economy can begin to open up once more, furloughed staff can have a better understanding of their position & those who have sadly lost their jobs; can begin to feel hopeful of gainful employment going forward.
