Miles Morgan Travel brings furloughed staff back on rotational basis

Miles Morgan Travel is bringing furloughed staff back to work on a rotational basis.

Chairman Miles Morgan said the move aimed to prevent employee burnout and keep all employees engaged in the business.

Under the Job Retention Scheme firms can bring staff out of furlough after a three‑week period.

Morgan said the move was about looking after staff during the lockdown rather than a smart business move.

He said: “Taking a hardline business view, it’s not as good, as the new crew have to get up to speed whereas the other crew knew the procedures. We’ve gone a little backwards as the new crew ramp up.

“But there is a bigger picture. We want to stop burnout and keep everyone engaged in the business. I think it’s the right thing to do.”
