Scottish Gov Hybrid Policy Falters | Glasgow News

Description

The Scottish Government’s hybrid work policy, mandating 40% office attendance for 9,000+ civil servants starting October 2025, is falling flat—with daily attendance dropping as low as 12%. Facing internal resistance and union pressure, officials quietly ditched enforcement, abandoning penalties for non-compliance. After just four months, the government stopped releasing attendance data, citing compromises with unions like PCS and FDA. Millions in taxpayer funds now sit idle in underused offices, sparking debate over work culture, employee well-being, and fiscal responsibility. The policy’s future remains uncertain.
