Recommendation 8
8
Paragraph: 63
Require Cabinet Office to publish clear policies on civil servant office attendance and headcount reductions
Recommendation
In its response to this report the Cabinet Office should write to us with a definitive statement of government policy on the flexibility civil servants should have on how often they work in the office. Within the same period, the Cabinet Office should write to us with a clear statement on what size of headcount reductions the Government is modelling, in what timescale this is intended to be achieved, and what impact this will have on departments’ requirement for office space. Until the GPA has greater certainty over departments’ workforce plans and demand for office space, it should review whether to proceed now with those Hubs currently in the planning stage, and not actively plan for any additional Hubs.
