Work / life balance

Father and child's shadow
BP is a progressive organisation. We listen to what our employees have to say. And we use our commitment to innovation to help them get the most from their careers and their personal lives
At BP, we recognise the needs of individuals. Through our innovative working practices, we’re setting new standards – ones that aim to ensure that all our employees enjoy a happy and productive work/life balance at every stage of their career.

Flexible working

Our IT infrastructure helps support flexible working and there are a variety of flexible working arrangements such as part-time and flexible hours that may be available to employees, depending on their role, for instance home-based working or teleconferencing may in some circumstances replace the need for travel.

Time to live

BP places great value on all employees achieving a proper balance between work time and personal time. As a global 24/7 business, there are occasions when people have to work very hard and unsociable hours. When this happens we do consider whether it might be appropriate to provide extra time off and/or other additional benefits.

Family time

Alongside our commitment to flexible working, we support a range of family friendly policies (such as career breaks and adoption leave) aimed at allowing people to contribute to their families without compromising their professional development or career aspirations.
