Hundreds of Bolton Council workers who have partially worked at home since March 2020 will be expected to spend the majority of time at the office under a new ‘hybrid’ working scheme.
Bolton Council has published details of their proposed new agile and hybrid working scheme which will affect many of their staff. The report revealed that 65 per cent of the workforce remained in the workplace throughout the pandemic, with the remainder working remotely for various periods when restrictions were in place.
Council offices remained open throughout with the report saying ‘this unprecedented period resulted in all services adapting to ensure sure residents and customers continued to receive good quality services’. Under the hybrid working scheme many staff are set to continue partially working from home for the foreseeable future but will spend more than half their working hours at the office or workplace.
