The Way We Work Transforming the Government Workplace
Workspace Transformation New flexible and more mobile ways of working mean that not only can we reduce the amount of office space, but we can also create new styles of office. Flexible working demands more flexible workspace.
The changing world of work • 40% desk occupation on average • Increased mobile ICT - ‘Jelly-bean’ working • Demand for variety/flexibility • Alternative work locations • Home working up 22% since 2001 • Pressure on property and utility costs • Climate change - CO2 • Transport
Government workplaces of the Future • Supporting the workforce through a smaller more efficient estate • Non-territorial working in a shared estate • Focus on supporting the employee beyond the confines of the traditional workplace • Common ICT accessibility for all civil servants • Common access and physical security systems
Key Issues • 2012 and beyond: changing work expectations for people driven by availability of networks & technology make working from different locations much more accessible and practical – performance / results driven management of staff will be more widely acceptable • Reduce Estate Cost: flexible working will reduce amount of empty workstations as well as improving peoples productivity – also an opportunity to reduce office portfolio. • Carbon Emission Reduction: flexible working environments will help reduce our office portfolio as well as cutting staff transport emissions when working from home. Wide spread use of video conferencing is also helping reduce transport costs & emissions
