A Republican proposal in Wisconsin aims to mandate full-time, in-person work for state employees, with sponsor Amanda Nedweski arguing that remote work raises productivity and cybersecurity issues. Despite GOP support, the bill faces opposition from Democratic Governor Tony Evers, who values flexible work arrangements for attracting talent. If enacted, it would exempt telehealth and pre-pandemic off-site work. Leading Senate sponsor Cory Tomczyk emphasizes the advantages of in-person collaboration, suggesting it enhances accountability and job performance. The proposal aims for implementation by July 1.
Simply asking employees to return to the work routine they enjoyed prior to the pandemic is not only fair - it is representative of what the public is demanding.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, can replace the face-to-face experience when coaching or developing or creating something with humans.
By being in the office, managers and company leadership are able to ensure that their employees are being productive.
Evers has credited flexible work arrangements with helping the state attract top talent from all across Wisconsin - not just Madison and Milwaukee.
