answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2023 answer text <p>Over the past two years, the Civil Service as a whole has had to work in a more agile way whilst still delivering essential public services. Before the pandemic, most departments worked on a basis of a ratio of desks to staff and that remains the case – so hybrid working arrangements are not new. No office will operate at 100% occupancy given there will always be a number of reasons why staff may be out of the office, for example people being on annual leave, attending meetings off site or external visits. Data on the Department’s occupancy are published: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Like most departments, in line with the practice in many public and private sector organisations, BEIS operates hybrid working arrangements where employees are expected to attend the office for at least 40%-60% of their time.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 17/01/2023 12:53:43 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
