Office for Equality and Opportunity: Conditions of Employment

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentWomen and EqualitiesTabled Answered 16 March 2026UIN 114479

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what proportion of staff in her Department have (a) office-based, (b) hybrid and (c) remote-working contracts.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Office for Equality and Opportunity have 99% of their staff with office based contracts, with the remaining 1% with remote-working contracts (home-workers). We operate a ‘hybrid’ approach, led by business needs, and as a result many employees will work both from home and in the workplace on an informal basis.
