The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources is implementing a return-to-office plan, reassuring employees that changes do not reflect on their work quality. Secretary Julie Moore emphasized a focus on solutions and the professional handling of changes, as directives arise from the governor's office. Governor Phil Scott's hybrid work approach is early in development, with input from various departments. Details regarding timelines and expected in-office days are anticipated soon. Despite an increase in in-person work, remote arrangements remain prevalent among state employees.
I understand this creates real challenges for many, and those concerns are valid. At the same time, this directive comes from the governor's office as part of broader policy decisions about how state government operates.
I need everyone to focus on solutions rather than resistance, understanding that work arrangements can and do change, and our response must remain professional even when changes are unwelcome.
The Agency of Administration plans to share the timeline of the proposal and the number of in-office days expected by the end of the month.
Covid-19 transformed how the state did business, shifting work from downtown offices to video calls.
