Then you’re not interested.
At work we took on a group of people who 'might need extra support' from a get into work scheme.
One guy could not work from home, which is like 60% of the contract, and would be an immediate no-hire. He couldn't work from home cos he shared his room with 3 brothers. It was SO EASY to get him a full time desk
A girl didn't clock on remotely, didn't call, didn't come in to the office, immediate end of probation period material. Called and she'd been hot-spotting from her phone for two weeks because she doesn't have WiFi, her mobile bill was bigger than she expected and came in before we'd paid her. Couldn't pay it, overdrawn on account with charges and phone cut off.
Girl was literally living on the knife edge of poverty and throwing everything she had into the chance of keeping this job.
We gave her a WiFi dongle and she stayed with us. Just one little bit of help.
Our service desk took on a new call agent who is autistic. Working from home through the pandemic she was fine; on return to site, it soon became clear that she was struggling - not with the calls, but with being in the office interacting with the rest of the team. Following discussions, her working pattern was rearranged so that she splits her time between the office and homeworking; she was given use of a private office instead of sharing with other call agents; and she was allowed to bring her support worker to work with her every day. Simple adjustments which have made all the difference, and we get to keep a really good member of staff who might otherwise have given up and quit.
[Image description: post by LiquidMotion: "I had a new guy working for me once in retail who fell asleep a few times during his shifts. I had coworkers and customers both tell me they thought he was on drugs cuz he'd nod off right in the middle of something like that. When I talked to him about it it turned out he was homeless and he'd been living in his car and being harassed by cops for sleeping in it, so every night he'd sleep an hour or two and get up and drive to a new spot, sleep another hour or two and get up and move again. I moved his schedule a bit and had him start parking in our private lot and talked to some other managers to make sure he'd get left alone there. Only took the kid a few weeks after that to get on top of himself and get a room. Some people just need a little help."]
