The Ontario government mandates public service employees to work from the office at least four days a week starting in October, full-time by January. Previously, many were allowed to work remotely up to twice a week since April 2022. This change is prompting discussions on productivity and employee well-being. The AMAPCEO union, representing 14,000 staff, claims that this decision will significantly impact the attraction and retention of talent. AMAPCEO president Dave Bulmer states that potential employees will shy away from positions lacking hybrid work options, contradicting the goals outlined in the OPS People Plan.
The Ford government's decision to require Ontario public servants to return to the office full-time could negatively affect recruitment and retention of skilled staff.
AMAPCEO president Dave Bulmer highlighted that the removal of hybrid work options could drive talented professionals away from the Ontario Public Service.
Bulmer noted, 'Nobody's going to come to an OPS that doesn't have hybrid work', emphasizing future challenges in attracting skilled labor.
The OPS People Plan's objectives focus on 'attracting, developing, and retaining top talent', which may be compromised by the government's decision to eliminate remote work options.
