There are currently 1011 (974.6 FTE) staff working in my Department. Since late February of this year, in general staff have been attending the office for two days per week.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were c.10 staff in a formal remote working arrangement. In addition, some staff would have had occasion to work remotely some of the time, based on the nature of their duties (labour inspectors, those attending meetings in Brussels, etc).
