Government Departments: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what guidance his Department has issued to other Departments on methods for monitoring workplace attendance.
Answered by Georgia Gould
As separate employers, it is for each department to determine methods for monitoring workplace attendance of employees. Current Civil Service guidance requires Civil Servants to attend the office or work face-to-face with colleagues at least 60% of the time. Considerations for monitoring workplace attendance, for example advice on GDPR compliance, has been provided to departments.
Additionally, HQ Occupancy data collection enables the Cabinet Office to gain a general understanding of each department’s position to ensure efficient and effective use of the estate. The latest headquarters occupancy data for each Government department is available publicly on gov.uk
