City employees showed we can get stuff done working from home. Provide the city workforce the option to work from home on a two or three day per week schedule. During the pandemic we demonstrated that we can get stuff done and it will boost employee morale.

The city is working within the prism of an outdated system. Implementing an innovative and flexible work from home schedule would greatly improve the work life balance of city employees. If the city remains antiquated, they will continue to lose tremendous talent over to the private sector making it harder to continually attract the next generation of workers. There are some people who don’t mind working in-office 5 days a week. But since March 2020, city employees have shown that they could be both efficient and productive without entering an office 5 times a week. A flexible work from home option will: 1) decrease COVID spreading within the office making the offices much more spacious and safer, 2) eliminate stressful, long commutes to and from work, and 3) increase personal enjoyment and fulfilment in employees current job roles. This is a step in the right direction. Mayor Adams and City Council needs to get on board and support this teleworking idea.
