Department for Work and Pensions: Flexible Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of staff in her Department have flexible working arrangements; and how many of those work compressed hours.
Answered by Andrew Western
All DWP staff have access to flexible working options where appropriate to their role. This may include flexibility around start and finish times, compressed hours, or remote working. We do not have data on the number of staff who are unable to or choose not to take advantage of any form of flexibility.
In June 2025, 2.8% of staff were working compressed hours.
