Working from Home

Requested Fri 03 February 2023
Responded Fri 24 February 2023

I would like to request the following information in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, relating to working from home policies.

1. How many employees in your organisation work from home (work from home being more than 5 hours per day) more than once a week?

2. The number of employees in your organisation and, of these, the number able to perform their work remotely (that is, not those who are front-line workers) and the number who have started returning to in person work.

3. What percentage of time, per week, are employees in your organisation entitled to work from home?

Response

Hastings Borough Council have a hybrid working policy (attached). It is for line managers to agree how often employees are present in person taking into account service requirements.

On average there are 95 desks booked per day in the main council offices, however we also have other offices where staff do not work from home.
