Great expectations: creating the civil service working environment of the future

Remote and flexible working, health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion… when it comes to the workplace, all of these things and more have been thrown into sharp focus since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Having had to fundamentally shift working practices almost overnight to enable employees to deliver new and vital public services from the safety of their homes, 18 months on, civil service leaders are taking stock of what’s worked and what hasn’t, and thinking about how best to keep employees healthy, happy and productive. At the same time, people – having gone through one of the most alien and trying times in recent memory – are revaluating what’s important to them, with a flexible and supportive working life high on the list of requirements.
There’s a lot to consider as we barrel towards a new era of work, and knowing what employees want and expect will be key.
