(Translated) What consideration has been given to increased digital support to allow the expansion of home-working and remote-working amongst Commission staff?

(Translated)

Member of the Senedd:

Nearly all Commission staff have been working from home since the lockdown arrangements came into force at the end of March, with only a limited number of essential staff—security and maintenance—regularly attending site. The delivery of the Commission information and communications technology strategy over the last three years, which has seen the move to Office365 and the replacement of desktop PCs with laptops, has proven to be of significant benefit in supporting remote working. During the period of lockdown we have been surveying staff to understand how we can continue to support them whilst working from home. We will use all of this learning when considering how we might beneficially adapt current working practices for the future, including more opportunities for home and virtual working.
