Body Doubling (Working with colleague)
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview
Sitting with someone for accountability.
For Employees
Explain that the goal is accountability, not socialising. A "virtual body double" on a silenced video call can work just as well as sitting next to someone.
For Employers
This is a zero-cost productivity booster. As long as it doesn't distract the "double", there is no business reason to refuse it.
Key Considerations
- Zero cost.
- Can be virtual.
