PUBLIC SECTOR — WORKING FROM HOME POLICIES
968. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I refer to the practice of working
from home across the public sector.
(1) Does the Public Sector Commission or the Department
of Premier and Cabinet apply a consistent policy for managing working
from home across the public sector, or are there differences in policy and
management on an agency-by-agency basis?
(2) Is the
Premier aware of the quantum or proportion of public sector employees who
regularly work from home on a daily basis?
