Roper: Hennepin County's lax hybrid work policy deserves more scrutiny
Briefly

Hennepin County's hybrid work policy allows employees to work remotely, demanding only one in-person visit per month. This policy contrasts sharply with other counties like Ramsey, which expects hybrid employees to appear on-site at least twice weekly. Despite this minimal requirement, County Administrator David Hough indicated that many of the county's hybrid workers actually come in two to three times a week, suggesting that the written baseline may not accurately reflect true attendance levels. The county employs around 6,000 people, predominantly in hybrid roles.
Hennepin County's hybrid work policy requires employees to come in at least once a month, setting a notably low threshold compared to other counties that mandate more frequent attendance.
County Administrator David Hough stated that although the minimum standard for hybrid work is low, in practice, many employees fulfill their roles in-person more frequently than required.
