The Ministry of Public Administration is moving forward with developing a comprehensive Remote Work Policy for the civil service, and says it is working closely with the Ministry of Labour to ensure employees are protected and provided with options.
Minister of Public Administration, Allyson West, says the focus is on developing an inclusive, comprehensive policy, with guidelines that are fair and progressive, without compromising productivity nor the equality of service provided to the public.
The Ministry has since created an ‘eBOX’ online platform, https://eboxtenders.com/mpa, for interested persons or firms to access the Terms of Reference and gain further clarification, noting that deadline for submissions is at the end of May.
The Minister said the policy is not just about monitoring an employee’s progress online, but also about being proactive in ensuring there is a framework that adequately addresses all relevant issues.
