JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The policy of working from home (Work From\nHome\/WFH) for the first week has not yet been implemented by several\nlocal governments, one of which is the Dompu Regency Government in West\nNusa Tenggara (NTB).<\/p>\n
That region is still assessing the impact of the policy, including on\nbudget efficiency and public service performance.<\/p>\n
According to the local government, all regions need to adapt to their\nrespective conditions.<\/p>\n
However, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) emphasises that\nWFH is a national policy that must be implemented by local\ngovernments.<\/p>\n
So, why is there still resistance from regions in implementing the\nWFH policy?<\/p>\n
Even though technology is needed to support the monitoring system so\nthat WFH is not exploited for collective holidays.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome are already very ready with their monitoring. So they have a\nspecial application for attendance based on house coordinates. There\u2019s\nalso an application for filling in tasks, there\u2019s e-Performance there,\u201d\nsaid Bima when contacted by Kompas.com on Tuesday (14\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, but there are regions that don\u2019t have that application yet.\nThey still haven\u2019t utilised technology, that\u2019s the obstacle,\u201d Bima\nadded.<\/p>\n
Those obstacles generally revolve around three things, one of which\nis the readiness of digital infrastructure and connectivity in some\nareas, especially regarding attendance proof systems and national-level\nshared information systems.<\/p>\n
Another issue lies in the diverse characteristics of local public\nservices, which require more detailed mapping.<\/p>\n
The third issue relates to cross-unit coordination patterns on\nFridays, which also need to be refined to maintain the work rhythm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are normal obstacles in a policy transition, and they actually\nbecome our roadmap for improvements going forward,\u201d Rini said to\nKompas.com on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, she emphasised that those obstacles do not mean WFH is\ndifficult to implement in the regions.<\/p>\n
The central government will provide assistance to local governments\nthat need adjustments, as part of the evaluation of implementation in\nthe first week.<\/p>\n
The assistance includes mapping positions and preparing standard\noperational procedures for services on Fridays.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will strengthen technical assistance to agencies that are still\nadjusting, deepen guidelines for position mapping, and ensure monthly\nreporting from each agency is carried out disciplinedly at the latest by\nthe 25th,\u201d Rini stated.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/one-week-of-civil-servants-working-from-home-why-are-there-still-regions-that-havent-implemented-it-1776207041", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
