Beneficial hours in working in Government (10)

I believe the answer is:

nourishing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beneficial' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hours in working in government' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates anagramming the letters.
'government' becomes 'g'.
'hours'+'in'='hoursin'
'hoursin' with letters rearranged gives 'nourish'.
'nourish'+'in'+'g'='NOURISHING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nourishing that I've seen before include "Nutritious" , "nutritive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
