Building a modern, diverse, flexible public sector
We are building a contemporary public sector that offers a range of flexible work options to attract and retain a diverse and capable workforce.
Supporting employees to balance work and life responsibilities is a business priority. Flexible working arrangements are linked to:
- increased productivity
- improved employee motivation
- higher job satisfaction
- positive health and wellbeing outcomes
Flexible working arrangements
Flexible working arrangements are not limited to flexi-time. They can take many forms, including:
- part-time work
- job share
- purchased leave
- flexible start and finish times
Public sector agencies support employees to find the right balance between work, personal commitments and other responsibilities.
