RBBC's Hybrid Working Policy has now been updated and shared with Heads of Service. The policy does not set a corporate rule on minimum office days. Instead, each Head of Service will determine and communicate the hybrid working expectations for their area based on service and resident needs. For some services, this will mean confirming existing and established hybrid practices. For others, the policy is an opportunity to review, tighten or refine expectations.

To support the rollout of the updated hybrid working approach, Heads of Service will clarify or reconfirm their service’s hybrid model, brief managers within their teams, ensure team discussions take place in the right way for their individual services, and identify any support needed from OD/HR.

Once most services have held or scheduled their team discussions, the updated hybrid working policy will be communicated more widely to staff via the Knowledge.

If you have any queries, please speak with your Head of Service in the first instance.
