Smarter Working Toolkit Update

We want to draw your attention to some of the benefits contained in the revised Smarter Working Toolkit (launched in September) which will help you in your work.

In simple terms the Toolkit will help you be more effective by building up networks, sharing information and maximising technology.

It will also assist you in working in a hybrid way by getting the most out of our buildings and facilities.

Sometimes, and partly as a result of working conditions during the pandemic, we might think of where we work as one or two locations: our main office location or home, perhaps. However, Smarter Working allows us to book and meet at other locations, so we can build networks and share knowledge and make better use of available space.

In the coming months we will provide updates and guidance from the Toolkit on use of MS Teams, and our buildings, as well as Leadership expectations.

We’d welcome any questions you may have, and we will publish these with answers in the forthcoming updates. Questions can be sent to probationsmarterworking@justice.gov.uk
