Government Flexible Working: Leveraging the Benefits published

Released on 11/07/2005

A new report, intended to guide Government strategy and OGC advice on flexible working, has been published. The study, produced by  Reading University and commissioned by OGC, reports progress in implementing flexible working practices across central government and the likely impact on workplace procurement. The research also draws comparisons with a previous study, undertaken in 2000, highlighting significant trends and the pace of change. The report draws conclusions about:

  • whether flexible working offers benefits to departments
  • how far and how quickly departments are reaping the benefits of greater flexibility
  • what factors have helped or hindered departments move towards greater flexibility
  • what actions might be needed to speed up the pace of change.

The report is available as a download or in print, which can be request from the OGC Service Desk on 0845 000 4999.
