Further supporting information is available as follows:
Pension Room
The National Shared Services Office (NSSO) is required to hold unique paper records of Officer’s service: if this data is lost the information would be irretrievable. The current room used to hold these records is too small and due to the large amount of paper files, the facility must be upgraded to comply with fire regulations and it also poses a Health & Safety risk. The NSSO also has GDPR obligations to provide secure storage for pension flies. Due to this, an upgrade will take place in 2019.
Communal Canteen
As part of other improvement works in an NSSO office, the NSSO will lose an existing canteen and this will put pressure on the remaining staff welfare services. Works to create a communal canteen are expected to take place in 2019.
