The Yogyakarta City Government is still refining the technical\nimplementation of work from home (WFH) for civil servants, planned to\napply every Friday. Acting Secretary of the Yogyakarta City Regional\nSecretariat, Dedi Budiono, assured that the policy will not disrupt\nservices to the public.<\/p>\n
Dedi stated that discussions on the technical aspects of WFH are\ncurrently underway with an internal team from the City Government. He\nmentioned that the prepared scheme will be submitted to Yogyakarta Mayor\nHasto Wardoyo for approval.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the Mayor has already made a statement about it, he will\nimplement WFH possibly on Fridays, and to avoid disrupting services on\nother days, the plan is to extend the hours. Now, technically, we are\nstill discussing and refining it with the performance team. We will then\nsubmit it to the Mayor for a decision,\u201d Dedi told reporters on Monday\n(23\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
He explained that the implementation of WFH is a follow-up to the\ncentral government\u2019s policy plans to promote efficiency in civil servant\nperformance. One of the objectives is to reduce operational costs such\nas electricity, water, and other office needs.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Dedi stressed that this efficiency must not affect the\nquality of public services. The City Government will ensure that\nservices continue to operate optimally even if some civil servants work\nfrom home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will not disrupt services to the public. We can make adjustments,\nincluding by maximising online-based services,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnline services can even be available 24 hours and do not recognise\nholidays. The principle is that we are ready, as long as public services\ncontinue to run well,\u201d Dedi added.<\/p>\n
Previously reported, the Yogyakarta City Government has begun\npreparing a scheme related to the one-day-per-week work-from-home\npolicy. This policy will be implemented after the Eid al-Fitr\nholiday.<\/p>\n
Yogyakarta Mayor Hasto Wardoyo revealed that although the scheme is\nnot yet final, they have designed a work pattern adjusted to the policy.\nOne of them is designating Friday as the WFH implementation day for\ncivil servants in the Yogyakarta City Government.<\/p>\n
However, the WFH system planned for Fridays is assured not to disrupt\nthe civil servants\u2019 work system or services to the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo keep work effective, my plan is WFH on Fridays and extend office\nhours on regular days until the evening to cover the shortfall from one\nWFH day,\u201d Hasto said when contacted by reporters via short message on\nSunday (22\/3).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/yogyakarta-city-government-to-implement-wfh-for-civil-servants-every-friday-boosting-online-services-1774255883", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
