Issue - meetings

The Group reviewed the Agile Working Policy, which had been introduced in 2020. The policy had been updated to reflect the changes to working practices which had come about due to the continuing effects of COVID-19.

The Policy now stated that there was an expectation that employees would attend the office for a minimum of one day a week, although employees’ patterns and place of work would be agreed following discussions with their managers, taking into considerations the business requirement within their role. This would be kept under review in order to ensure it continued to meet business needs.

In response to questions from the Committee, the HR Manager undertook to circulate information on the number of employees attending the office one day a week or more.

RESOLVED that the updated Agile Working Policy, as set out at Annex A to the agenda report, be adopted.
