Civil Servants: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many people have been recruited to the Civil Service in roles that permit full-time home working in the last 12 months.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Cabinet Office does not hold this data as decisions about their workforce and working arrangements are delegated to individual departments.
Civil Service leaders are clear that civil servants should be in the workplace where needed to drive delivery and they should adhere to their contractual obligations. Workplace attendance has an important role in effective service delivery to the public as reflected in the 60% office attendance expectation for all office based civil servants.
