Guided by the Central Policy Framework for Blended Working in the Civil Service, the Department of the Taoiseach launched a Blended Working Policy in November 2022, with eligible employees invited to submit applications for blended working arrangements. The Department’s Blended Working Policy provides for a minimum attendance of three days per week in the office and additional attendance if business needs require it. Due to the nature of the work of the Department, employees are regularly required to attend in the office more than three days a week and not all roles in the Department are eligible for blended working. As at end Q1 2025, 47% (119) employees had applied for blended working arrangements.
