I understand that there are benefits to working in the office. For some personality types, it's a preferable work environment; others have more productivity in a remote work environment. One thing that seems clearly obvious is that if employees are disgruntled, their productivity goes down. It seems like the way that this directive has been handled by management has resulted in a lot of employees feeling like they're not valued, like the employer doesn't take the needs of their work environment seriously.
How is the public service going to manage that impact?
We've heard from PSAC that it's going to fight this. I'm getting emails from my constituents saying that the way that it's being rolled out in individual offices is deeply problematic. What's the strategy from here on in to get to a place where you're actually reaping the benefits of the return to the office?
