        "summary": "The Indonesian government has implemented a work-from-home (WFH) policy for civil servants (ASN) every Friday starting from 10 April 2026, aimed at promoting energy efficiency amid the Middle East conflict, while public services and essential economic activities will continue uninterrupted. In contrast, the Ministry of Manpower has issued a circular recommending but not mandating WFH one day per week for private companies. This distinction highlights the government's approach to balancing efficiency measures with operational continuity across public and private sectors.",
        "content": "<p>The government has officially implemented a work-from-home (WFH)\npolicy for civil servants (ASN) and the private sector. However, there\nare differences in the implementation of this flexible working\narrangement between ASN and the private sector. The following outlines\nthe differences in WFH application for ASN and the private sector, as\ncompiled by Kompas.com: The government has officially enacted a WFH\npolicy every Friday for ASN, newly applied on Friday (10\/4\/2026). This\nWFH implementation for ASN every Friday is one of the government\u2019s\npolicies to save or achieve efficiency, particularly in energy,\nfollowing the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East. \u201cWFH for ASN in\ncentral and regional agencies will be carried out for one working day\nper week, namely every Friday,\u201d said Coordinating Minister for the\nEconomy Airlangga Hartarto when announcing the policy on Tuesday\n(31\/3\/2026). Airlangga also emphasised that public services will\ncontinue to operate despite the WFH policy every Friday. \u201cPublic\nservices will remain operational, and productive activities including\nbanking, capital markets, and others will continue. Those in offices are\npermitted to arrange it using certain applications,\u201d said Airlangga. The\nMinister of Manpower (Menaker) Yassierli explained that he has issued a\ncircular on WFH for one day per week for private companies. However, he\nclarified that its implementation is only a recommendation, not\nmandatory like the WFH policy for ASN every Friday. \u201cI also conveyed to\nCommission IX (DPR) that it is in the nature of a recommendation,\u201d said\nYassierli during a working meeting with Commission IX of the DPR, quoted\nfrom the TVR Parlemen YouTube broadcast on Friday (10\/4\/2026).\nTherefore, the Minister of Manpower\u2019s Circular (SE) Number\nM\/6\/HK.04\/III\/2026 on WFH and Optimisation of Energy Utilisation in the\nWorkplace is merely advisory.<\/p>",
