The Department of the Taoiseach’s Blended Working Policy provides a procedure for Departmental staff in eligible posts to apply for blended working arrangements. In the case of fulltime employees, the Policy provides for a minimum attendance of three days per week in the office; one of which should be a team anchor day. Business needs may require attendance in the office for more than three days per week and the Policy allows for that.

The Policy has been developed in line with the Blended Working Policy Framework for Civil Service Organisations and is subject to review on an ongoing basis to be responsive to the evolving business needs of the Department.

Formal reviews of the Policy will be aligned to the Blended Working Evaluation Model developed by the Department of Public Expenditure NDP Delivery and Reform.
