17 Mar 2021 HR is concerned employees do not feel they can come to them for support during challenging times, as new research has found adults in the UK are worried about keeping up rent payments.
Homeless charity Shelter found that one in seven adults (14%), the equivalent of more than six million people in England, are worried about becoming homeless due to the pandemic.
Shelter’s survey also found that in just the last month, 24% of private renters have had to borrow money to pay their rent, 18% have cut back on food or skipped meals to pay their rent and 12% have cut back on heating their home to pay their rent.
