Hybrid workers in Bank of Ireland have received a warning from management over meeting the minimum number of in-person attendance days.<\/p>\n
In July last year, the bank announced that staff who are eligible for hybrid working would be required to work in-person a minimum of eight days per month or two days per week.<\/p>\n
In a message to staff this morning, the bank said that meeting the minimum in-person attendance set out in its hybrid policy will now be part of how it assesses performance.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, it is clear that not enough of us are meeting the minimum requirements set more than six months ago,” according to the message.<\/p>\n
From June 2026, swipe-in data for staff will be visible and reported on a monthly basis to line managers.<\/p>\n
Staff that do not meet their minimum in-person requirements will receive a full year rating of “inconsistent” which could impact future bonuses and pay increases.<\/p>\n
“If colleagues do not meet the requirement the bank can commence disciplinary proceedings as it would for any matter of non-compliance,” according to the message.<\/p>\n
The communication describes Bank of Ireland’s hybrid approach as “market-leading in terms of flexibility” as it is paired with a network of remote working hubs.<\/p>\n
The message thanks those that are meeting and exceeding the minimum requirements, and acknowledges that hybrid working is not available to every staff member, with many roles requiring in-person attendance five days a week.<\/p>\n
“For those eligible to work in a hybrid way it is a considerable benefit and – to be fair to everyone in the company – we have to make sure that the policy is consistently adhered to,” the message states.<\/p>\n
“Whilst exception considerations are now closed, BOI remains committed to sensible day to day flexibility, which will continue to be agreed between colleague and manager,” it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hybrid workers in Bank of Ireland have received a warning from management over meeting the minimum number of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-408244","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
