National Employment Savings Trust Corporation: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much the National Employment Savings Trust has spent on equipment to enable staff to work from home in each of the last three years.
Answered by Torsten Bell
Nest is a Public Corporation which operates independently of Government. This includes necessary expenditure surrounding supporting its staff to work from home. However, it has provided the following information:
Nest technology for staff is such that most equipment is used across home and office locations. Therefore, spending on equipment to enable working from home relates to specific items needed to adjust to working in a home environment (e.g. display screens and workstation accessories).
Nest Corporation working from home expenditure:
Year | 2022/23 | 2023/24 | 2024/25 |
Total expenses | £8,914 | £6,945 | £5,137 |
*Nest accounts, including expenses recognised, are audited by the NAO. However, this information is based on more detailed management information which is not specifically audited.
