Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what is the percentage office workplace attendance requirement in each of the department’s offices, broken down by location; and whether attendance statistics are collated for each of those individual offices.
Answered by Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade
The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (“BIST”) applies a consistent departmental workplace attendance expectation across its office estate. Delegated grade staff are expected to spend 40% of their time in the office while Senior Civil Servants and Early Careers colleagues are expected to attend 60% of the time.
BIST continues to operate a self-reporting attendance tool for staff from the former Department for Business and Trade (“DBT”) following recent Machinery of Government change. We have not yet finalised a position on future attendance reporting for all staff across the new Department.
