Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced that much of the state workforce will be required to report to the office at least 50% of their scheduled workdays beginning June 1. This policy applies to agencies utilizing hybrid work models, while exemptions exist for employees living over 75 miles from their office. The governor emphasized this change aims to foster collaboration and stronger workplace cultures. The state government is one of Minnesota's largest employers, and many employees already work in person, but flexibility remains important for recruitment efforts amid evolving workplace dynamics post-pandemic.
"This approach balances the flexibility of telework with the workplace advantages of being in office," Walz said in a statement. "Having more state employees in the office means that collaboration can happen more quickly and state agencies can build strong organizational cultures more easily."
