Bill filed to bring Wisconsin state workers back to offices
Briefly

Wisconsin's state employees may be mandated to return to their offices as part of new legislation introduced by State Rep. Amanda Nedweski. This initiative aims to reinstate in-person work by July 1, 2025, as remote work persists five years post-pandemic, diminishing productivity and leaving state office spaces underutilized. A state audit revealed that many offices are largely empty, especially within the Department of Public Instruction, prompting concerns over efficient use of taxpayer-funded resources. The plan retains remote work options for eligible employees, focusing on enhancing statewide productivity and proper management of state resources.
It is unconscionable to me that only about 5% of DPI's employees are actually working in-person.
This bill is about maximizing the efficiency that we get from our state agencies and our state-owned buildings.
