        "summary": "A member of the Indonesian House of Representatives has cautioned the government against implementing a work-from-home (WFH) policy for the private sector that could hinder company performance, emphasising the need for careful planning to balance energy efficiency goals with business targets. While appreciating the initiative as a measure to save fuel, the MP stressed that the policy should not be uniformly applied to private employees like civil servants, and called for clear definitions of affected workers and durations to assess savings accurately. Additionally, he urged coordination with businesses to maintain productivity and ensure public services remain unaffected.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - A member of Commission II of the House of Representatives\nfrom the Nasdem Faction, Ujang Bey, has reminded the government that the\nproposal for a work-from-home (WFH) policy of one day per week for the\nprivate sector should not disrupt company performance.<\/p>\n<p>Ujang stated that although he appreciates the government\u2019s push for\nthe WFH policy as an effort to achieve energy efficiency, its\nimplementation must be carefully designed and measured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the private sector, I think the government must be cautious in\nimplementing the WFH programme. Because the private sector has specific\ntargets for companies, and each employee is burdened with performance\nachievements. Don\u2019t let the implementation of WFH for the private sector\ndisrupt the stability of company performance,\u201d said Ujang to reporters\non Monday (23\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the government needs to clearly determine the\nnumber of civil servants (ASN) and private workers who will be affected,\nincluding the duration of the policy\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n<p>From there, according to him, the government can calculate how much\nfuel savings will be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that the implementation of WFH in the private sector\ncannot be equated with that for ASN, given that companies have targets\nand performance burdens that must be met by each employee.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Ujang emphasised the importance of coordination between\nthe government and business actors so that the policy does not have a\nnegative impact on company productivity.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he also reminded that the WFH policy should not reduce\nthe quality of public services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso map out the ASN whose services directly interact with the\npublic; don\u2019t let this policy lead to complaints from the public because\nservices are not optimal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ujang assessed that the effectiveness of the WFH policy greatly\ndepends on thorough planning and implementation in line with the\ntargets.<\/p>\n<p>Previously reported, the Minister for State Secretary (Mensesneg)\nPrasetyo Hadi stated that the one-day-per-week WFH policy would not\napply to all sectors.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that only certain sectors that allow remote work would\nimplement the policy.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the policy related to one day of WFH per week is still\nbeing formulated.<\/p>\n<p>According to Prasetyo, the plan is a directive from the President in\na full cabinet plenary session as an effort to promote efficiency in the\nwork environment, including in the government sector.<\/p>",
