Summary of request
Your request
Since July 19th 2021 how many staff have returned to the office rather than work from
home compared to before the pandemic?
Our response
The GLA does not hold the information you have requested.
Whilst the GLA did keep records of the number of staff attending City Hall when Government Covid guidance on the workplace was in force, since the restrictions were relaxed, we have not needed to record occupancy number so have no records.
Instead, we encourage staff to use the NHS Track and Trace app and that does not provide us with data.
To support and encourage staff returning to the office safely, the GLA has a smart working
policy that embeds the current ways of working for the organisation. This enables staff to work in the office and remotely. We are currently in the process of decanting staff from City Hall in preparation for City Hall’s relocation to the Crystal building in Docklands.
If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact me, quoting
