Central Java Provincial Government Implements WFH, Civil Servants Urged to Maintain Service Quality

It has started today. Do not let the quality of services and performance decline because of this WFH,” said Luthfi in a written statement on Friday (10/4/2026).

At the Central Java Governor’s Office environment, activities are still running as usual, but not as busy as previous days. This is because some civil servants (ASN), especially those whose jobs can be done from home, are encouraged to work from home.

This regulation is implemented as a follow-up to the circular letter (SE) from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the SE from the Central Java Governor as an effort to save energy.

Luthfi also stated that the WFH regulation has already been implemented in several regencies/cities. If there are still areas that have not implemented it, it is because they are still under review.

“The typology of regions varies. They know their respective characteristics,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Central Java Province, Sumarno, explained that the first day of WFH has indeed started, but the percentage of ASN participating in WFH cannot yet be reported. The WFH concept for the Central Java Provincial Government is left to each head of Organisational Device (OPD) because they know their respective situations.

In the regulations, there are several sectors that do not implement WFH, namely those related to public services such as hospitals and health facilities, Samsat, education, and so on.

“So we do not limit the percentage but according to the needs in each OPD. Today, we will ask for reports from OPD colleagues,” he said.

Sumarno emphasised that the most important aspect of the WFH concept is control. WFH must be understood not as a holiday, but as working from each person’s residence. In practice, this concept will continue to be evaluated periodically.

This includes tagging or location marking as well as reporting work activities from home, with instruments already prepared by the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) of Central Java Province.

The evaluation also relates to the ability to save energy from the WFH practice. Currently, the results are not yet known because detailed calculations are needed. In general, if employees who WFH do not come to the office, fuel consumption can be reduced.

“Efficiency in the office also prioritises electricity costs and so on. Later we will calculate how much can be saved with this WFH,” he concluded.
