Working From Home arrangements extended

August 21, 2020

Our Working From Home policy will remain in place until 15 January 2021, as we continue to evaluate what is best for colleagues and the services we provide.

This includes a safe office space review, which is now close to conclusion. As a result the Health and Safety team has written to managers in areas where this has been completed. If you have not yet responded please ensure you do.

There will also be engagement over long-term working from home arrangements over the coming months. This strategy will reflect learnings from over the last five months and look to put arrangements on a firmer and more contractual footing that will carry the Trust through to 2023.

This ensures fairness for existing and new employees and clarity about eligibility and decision making.

A further survey of working from home arrangements will be undertaken in September to help to inform our decision making.

If you do not have the correct IT or other equipment for working from home you should raise this with your line manager in the first instance.

If you require any information on the safe office space review then please contact Jacque Calloway on ext. 4118 or Allison Binns on ext. 4121.
