Texas state government agencies are implementing a return-to-office policy for remote workers, following directives from the governor's office aimed at evaluating pandemic-era remote work policies. With a workforce of nearly 150,000, agency directors are communicating plans to transition employees back to physical offices over the coming months, citing concerns over efficiency and taxpayer expectations. The shift arises amid legislative scrutiny of remote work practices, reflecting growing pressure on agencies to ensure effective operations and responsible use of public funds.
State agencies were notified today of the Governor's expectation that employees be in the office full time, as soon as practicable, in accordance with state law.
Texans expect their public servants to be present and engaged in the work on their behalf.
Agency directors began breaking the news this week, telling their nearly 150,000 employees that the next several months will be spent addressing the challenges of bringing tens of thousands of workers back.
The policy shift comes after lawmakers... press for workers to return to offices.
