Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department launched it's Blended Working Policy on 1st July 2022. The policy was developed in line with the parameters of the Civil Service Blended Working Policy Framework.
The office remains the principle workplace and blended working arrangements are agreed at a local level in each business unit. A key principle of the policy is that we ensure business needs are met to the highest professional standards while allowing for the maximum amount of flexibility and personal choice for our staff in relation to their working arrangements. There is no option to work remotely full time.
Blended working is available to the majority of staff with the exception of a small number in roles that are customer facing where office attendance is necessary to undertake the duties of the role.
My Department does not have any offices based in County Clare.
