        "summary": "The Indonesian government plans to implement a one-day-a-week work-from-home (WFH) policy for civil servants and private sector workers starting in March 2026, aimed at enhancing efficiency and saving fuel and energy amid global dynamics. Officials suggest Wednesday as the ideal day to avoid perceptions of extended weekends, with the policy excluding sectors like services, industry, and trade that cannot accommodate remote work. Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto confirmed the policy will be finalised this month following presidential directives, highlighting its role in broader economic efficiency measures.",
        "content": "<p>The question of when the one-day-a-week WFH policy will take effect\nand on which day remains a public concern as the government plans to\nimplement a remote working scheme for civil servants (ASN) and private\nsector workers. Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto\nconfirmed that the policy will be established in March 2026. However,\nthe government has not yet announced the exact implementation date or\nthe specific day. \u201cIt will definitely be set this month,\u201d Airlangga said\nafter a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential\nPalace Complex in Jakarta on Friday (27\/3\/2026). Home Affairs Minister\nTito Karnavian stated that the official announcement will be made after\ndirect instructions from the President. Meanwhile, State Secretary\nMinister Prasetyo Hadi emphasised that the WFH policy does not apply to\nall sectors. According to him, only certain fields that allow remote\nwork will implement this scheme. \u201cFor example, the services, industry,\nand trade sectors will certainly not be part of this policy,\u201d Prasetyo\nsaid. He explained that this policy is part of efficiency efforts,\nincluding energy and fuel oil (BBM) savings, which the government is\ncurrently reviewing amid global dynamics. He noted that choosing a\nmidweek day is important to avoid the perception of a \u201clong holiday\u201d if\nWFH is applied on Friday or Monday. \u201cIf it\u2019s Friday, it could be\ninterpreted as a long holiday. If it\u2019s Monday, it\u2019s the same, it could\nbe seen as an extension of the weekend,\u201d he said. He assessed that\nWednesday is the most ideal option because it is in the middle of the\nweek, thus maintaining the work rhythm. Meanwhile, Finance Minister\nPurbaya Yudhi Sadewa views the implementation of one day a week WFH as\nable to drive energy efficiency, particularly in saving BBM.<\/p>",
