The PSAC union is asking for the appropriate wording to be included in the new collective agreement that would allow, within management’s approval, a hybrid work agreement.
I have worked from home and from the office. Without a doubt, I’m more productive when working from home. There are far less interruptions. I battle with migraines and chronic bronchitis but I can still work from home, instead of taking a sick day. I do not watch the clock and can work overtime with very little notice.
My hope is the Treasury Board will work with PSAC and realize the value of the hybrid approach for both the Treasury Board and their employees!
