	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2022 answer text The Treasury has encouraged all managers to discuss with employees their individual risk factors and any concerns they may have about returning to the workplace; managers have been advised to use a Coronavirus Individual Risk Indicator tool to help facilitate these conversations. As these discussions are directly between managers and employees, the Treasury does not hold information on how many coronavirus individual risk assessments have been conducted. There are no plans to mandate coronavirus individual risk assessments. answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 24/02/2022 13:59:14 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

The GLD have a joint agreement with the PCS and FDA unions. The GLD enjoys a productive and open relationship with the unions, and fully accepts that the law places a duty on an employer to disclose information for collective bargaining purposes. This may include information without which the Trade Union representative would be materially impeded from carrying out collective bargaining and information which it would be in accordance with good employment relations practice to disclose for the purpose of collective bargaining. The information appropriate for disclosure will vary according to the request but is likely to include some of the following: principles and structures of pay and reward systems; analysis of earnings and hours of work; total pay bill and benefits; terms and conditions of employment; workforce planning statistics; and business outlook. In addition, routine human resources information is shared with recognised trade unions as part of our normal engagement, for example TUs are provided with anonymised workforce data which includes staffing numbers, turnover and activity levels on a monthly basis. There is a range of HR information published on the GOV.UK which is therefore publicly available.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 25/01/2023 17:47:07 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson
