Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto has officially issued a policy for work\nfrom home (WFH) every Friday for civil servants (ASN) within the Bogor\nRegency Government (Pemkab). The WFH policy is outlined in Circular\nLetter (SE) Number 000.8.3\/578-ORG dated 27 March 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe performance of official duties by ASN employees within the Bogor\nRegency Local Government after the holidays and collective leave for Eid\nal-Fitr 1447 H may be carried out through a work from home (WFH) scheme\nevery Friday. Meanwhile, on other working days, duties shall be\nperformed via work from office (WFO),\u201d states one point in the regent\u2019s\ncircular letter, as seen by detikcom on Friday (27\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
Rudy Susmanto stated that this policy is an adaptive step by Pemkab\nBogor to maintain a balance between work productivity and energy\nefficiency. The policy was adopted as a strategic measure to address the\nimpacts of the global crisis, particularly in the energy sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to ensure that ASN performance remains optimal, while also\ncontributing to tangible energy savings,\u201d said Rudy in a written\nstatement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want this policy to be part of a collective movement, not only\nfor efficiency but also as a regional contribution to facing global\nchallenges and preserving the environment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
To ensure the policy runs optimally, said Rudy, ASN are still\nrequired to conduct attendance and performance reporting via the\nSiCantik application, and to be ready to come to the office if there are\nurgent tasks. Rudy emphasised that ASN discipline is crucial in\nimplementing the WFH policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWFH does not mean reducing discipline. On the contrary, ASN are\ndemanded to be more professional, responsible, and responsive to public\nneeds, including being ready to attend if necessary,\u201d said Rudy.<\/p>\n
Rudy affirmed that the implementation of the flexible work system\ndoes not apply to ASN in public service sectors, such as hospitals,\ntransportation, security, and disaster management.<\/p>\n
\u201cPublic services are the top priority. Therefore, essential service\nunits must continue to operate fully, and all ASN must maintain prime\nservice standards to the public,\u201d said Rudy.<\/p>\n
In addition to work arrangements, the Regent\u2019s SE also regulates\nenergy efficiency policies in office environments. This includes the use\nof energy-saving electrical appliances and turning off lights,\noptimising natural sunlight through workspace layouts, saving water and\noffice stationery (ATK), and setting the minimum AC temperature to 24\ndegrees Celsius.<\/p>\n
Pemkab Bogor also encourages changes in ASN mobility patterns to be\nmore environmentally friendly and reduce fuel consumption. On Mondays,\nTuesdays, and Thursdays, ASN are advised to use official vehicles\ntogether or collective vehicles (carpooling).<\/p>\n
\u201cSpecifically on Wednesdays, employees who do not use public\ntransportation are required to use two-wheeled motor vehicles, bicycles,\nor walk for mobility to and from the office,\u201d said Rudy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to build a culture of energy saving among ASN, starting from\nsimple things like regulating electricity use to changing transportation\npatterns that are more efficient and environmentally friendly,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bogor-regent-implements-wfh-every-friday-civil-servants-urged-to-maintain-professionalism-1774608691", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
