<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) does not hold this information because
we do not record total hours worked for any of our staff. This is managed by individual
teams, particularly overseas.</p><p>Wellbeing is a key priority in the FCO, and we
recognise the importance of staff maintaining a good work life balance and not regularly
working beyond their conditioned hours. Wellbeing Confident Leadership workshops have
already been delviered to 67 per cent of our Senior Civil Servant and Senior Management
Structure staff, with the remainder expected to complete the training by the end of
the year.</p><p>Where staff are consistently exceeding their conditioned hours, managers
are expected to take steps to ensure that staff are not overstretched, and that they
are not exceeding the limits set out in the 1998 Working Time Regulations. However,
at times, staff may be asked to work above their conditioned hours to deliver priority
work, and will be paid overtime in line with our overtime policies.</p>
