Agenda item

Report of the Director of Human Resources.

The Committee considered a Report of the Director of Human Resources concerning a proposal for a new corporate policy for Home and Remote Working.

Officers confirmed that, when it came to adhering to the Corporation’s remote working policies, there was a high level of compliance amongst the workforce during the pandemic and the tools were in place for HR to carry out robust assessments.

A Member asked what the Corporation had spent to equip people to work from home over the course of the pandemic. Officers would return with the figure at the next meeting of the Committee.

In response to a query, officers confirmed that both policies (ITEMS 11 and 12) apply to officers only (i.e. not Members).

RESOLVED – that the Committee endorsed the draft Home Working and Remote Policy (Health and Safety).
