Flexible working

At Ørsted, we believe in a sustainable working life. We strive to support all employees with flexible working arrangements wherever possible. This means we provide the conditions for you to perform and nurture your wellbeing – at home and the office, through the changing demands of your life.

Our workforce is global. We carry out diverse roles in diverse environments. If you’re based in an office, you’ll agree with your leader where and when you’ll collaborate with your colleagues in person, and when you’ll work from home. While we are flexible in where we work, the site and the office provide an important social environment where we can connect, collaborate and deliver. The key is to enable you to balance your personal and professional needs.

We’re always open to discuss any specific requirements you have around work and what you need to succeed.

Fact

Flexibility came in as number 1 out of 40 parameters in an internal survey among our employees about how Ørsted is perceived as a workplace.*

*Universum survey conducted among 1600 employees globally at Ørsted in 2021.

At Ørsted, we take a pragmatic approach to hybrid working for office-based employees; most are in the office for part of the week, and work from home for the rest. We believe the decision about this is best made between you and your leader, so you find a balance that that accommodates your tasks, team, and personal commitments.

Nicholas Creswell, Global Head of Talent

Ørsted offers competitive health and wellbeing benefits and promotes a sustainable working life within the pillars of balance, care, and energy.
