A “TOTAL cultural shift” is needed in the care home sector to make it a more decent place to work, according to a new report. The University of the West of Scotland research examined the impact of Covid-19 on the job quality of frontline workers and what needs to be done to improve it in the wake of the pandemic. During the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland, 46% of deaths were in care homes while at least 14 care home workers died, the report said. Researchers interviewed staff about the seven job quality factors which make work “decent” under the International Labour Organisation’s definition – supportive managers, terms and conditions, a safe work environment, decent pay, job security, social recognition, and purpose and meaning.
