Robot Workers – One Way to Avoid Staffing Problems

June 30, 2010

We have heard of a Scottish employer who have found a unique way in avoiding staffing issues with their employees. They have appointed robots – we at EmployEasily will need to check if they have contracts of employment!

A new Scottish hospital is to be the first in the UK to use robots for every day duties. Forth Valley Hospital in Larbert is planning to use use robots to deliver food, carry clinical waste, dispense drugs and clean operating theatres according to a report on the BBC. It is not envisaged that that the robots will replace employees but the intention is to enable staff to spend more time with patients.

I’m sure some employers would welcome the opportunity to employ robots to prevent staffing issues such as absence, poor performance and potential tribunal claims. Although we can’t supply you with robots, we can help you avoid staffing issues in the workplace, and reduce any potential risk to your business, If you want to find out more about the services we can offer you, please call us today on 0800 612 4772 or get a Free Quote for HR Services via our website.
