New Zealand Wants Public Servants to Come Back to the Office

  • Government issuing work-from-home guidance for public servants
  • Current WFH practices impacting retailers and restaurants

New Zealand’s government is imposing new work-from-home guidance on public servants to get them back to the office each day and arrest a trend that has curbed spending in the largest cities.

The government is taking steps to make this expectation clear to chief executives of departments and state-run agencies, Public Service Minister Nicola Willis said in a statement Monday in Wellington.
