Work Culture Transformation, Danantara Boss: Public Services Remain Optimal
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Investment Management Agency (BPI) Danantara has assured that the work culture transformation being promoted by the government will not disrupt public services or the productivity of state-owned companies.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BPI Danantara, who is also the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, during an online press conference monitored from Jakarta on Tuesday, emphasised that productivity and the quality of services remain the top priorities.
“We will also immediately follow up on the state-owned enterprises under our auspices, but while still upholding productivity and ensuring that public services continue to run as usual,” he said.
He stressed that the transformation is aimed at improving performance efficiency without sacrificing the quality of services to the public.
“But we will increase it even more and make it more efficient while still upholding productivity,” he said.
Meanwhile, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto explained that the government is applying an eight-point policy for national work culture transformation designed to address global dynamics challenges while safeguarding domestic economic stability.
“This situation is not an obstacle, but rather an opportunity for us to accelerate modern and efficient behavioural changes,” said Airlangga.
He affirmed that the national economy remains stable with strong fundamentals, including the availability of fuel stocks and maintained fiscal stability. Therefore, the public is urged to remain calm and carry out economic activities as usual.
One of the policies in this transformation is the implementation of work from home (WFH) for civil servants (ASN) for one day per week, namely every Friday.
In addition, the government is also promoting mobility efficiency through restrictions on the use of official vehicles by up to 50 per cent, as well as reductions in domestic and overseas official trips.
Similar policies are also being encouraged in the private sector with adjustments according to the characteristics of each industry. However, several sectors are exempted from the WFH scheme, including public services, health, security, as well as strategic sectors such as energy, food, transportation, and finance.
The government is also urging the public to implement energy efficiency and optimise the use of public transportation.
