The Anchorage Assembly approved a telecommuting agreement to enhance job attractiveness, responding to challenges in staff retention and filling vacancies in city departments.
City officials noted a 16% vacancy rate, revealing that expanding remote work options is crucial for competing within the labor market.
Only certain roles, such as lifeguards, require on-site presence, while a structured telecommuting policy allows for combination of remote and in-office work.
The previous remote work option for AMEA members lapsed post-pandemic; this new policy marks a significant shift in municipal staffing strategy.
