Home Affairs Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian has revealed that the\noption of Work From Home (WFH) for one day per week is strengthening in\nthe latest inter-ministerial meeting. However, he declined to specify\nthe implementation day, as it awaits the final decision from President\nPrabowo Subianto.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I heard is one day during the week. But which day will be\nchosen, let the decision be made later; the results of yesterday\u2019s\nmeeting will be reported to the president,\u201d he stated in Jakarta on\nWednesday (25\/3).<\/p>\n
He also hinted that previous meetings had shown a tendency towards\nselecting the same day nationally, but the decision remains with the\npresident.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Tito mentioned that the WFH proposal for one day per\nweek will not disrupt government operations. He emphasised that the\nscheme is not new, as the government has experience from the COVID-19\npandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo problem for me. I\u2019m confident there won\u2019t be issues. Because this\nisn\u2019t the first experience. During the COVID-19 era, WFH was\nimplemented, and at times only 25% were in the office. The Home Affairs\nMinistry operated at 25% WFO, and it still ran. So, it\u2019s not something\nnew; we have experience,\u201d said Tito.<\/p>\n
According to him, preparedness in both central and regional\ngovernments is relatively established. However, he reminded that\nessential public service sectors must continue to operate normally\ndespite the WFH policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cEssential things like transportation, emergency services, hospitals,\nand cleanliness must still run,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Tito stressed that the final decision has not been\nannounced. He noted that the policy discussions were held in a lengthy\ninter-ministerial meeting, but the government agreed to deliver the\nresults through a single channel.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet it be one voice. Therefore, yesterday\u2019s meeting was led by the\nCoordinating Minister for the Economy, accompanied by the Coordinating\nMinister for Human Development and Culture. So, let the Coordinating\nMinister for the Economy make the announcement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the meeting results will still be reported to the\npresident before being officially announced to the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter receiving directions from the President, it will then be\nofficially announced. Just be patient,\u201d Tito remarked.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/home-affairs-minister-reveals-option-for-one-day-of-wfh-per-week-discussed-across-ministries-1774435926", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
