133. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the way in which he plans to further facilitate remote working for public sector workers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32333/21]
View answerThe Government, has committed, in the Programme for Government, to mandating public sector employers to move to 20% home and remote working in 2021. In this context, My Department is, as a matter of priority, working with employers across the Civil Service to develop the longer term approach to remote working in the sector. My Department is also working closely with the wider public sector to ensure a consistency of approach. To this end the Department is working on a Blended Working Policy Framework for Civil Service Organisations which will assist those organisations in developing long-term remote working policies.
