D.C. government will limit how many days its office workers can work remotely to one per week beginning in March.
Some D.C. employees – like first responders and teachers – have been working in-person fulltime for years, but others have had the flexibility to work from home two days a week.
“It’s about the services that we provide to our residents, and we are a local government, and we need to be there to do that,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said.
The District sent a letter to employees Monday reading, in part, “To enhance our engagement with the community, foster a more collaborative work environment, and support the local economy, the District Government will be shifting from 2 routine telework days per week to 1 day per week … Our presence in the District is more than just a physical requirement – it’s about being a visible, active part of the community.”
