Staff at all levels, across the Commission, benefit for our flexible working scheme. For example, compressing their hours, job sharing, working from home permanently, or hybrid working.We also offer flexi-time. This allows our people to have some variety in working hours. Staff can take a maximum of three flexi leave days every month. They can also accrue this and take it as leave. We offer hybrid working pattern e.g. 1-2 days in the office depending on meetings but this would need to be agreed with manager.
