Return-to-Office Mandate Draws Alberta Government Workers Back On-Site
Thousands of Alberta government workers are heading back to work in their offices full time.
Sunday marked the official end of the province’s hybrid-work option, which was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 12,000 workers participated in hybrid arrangements allowing them to also work from home.
The province says circumstances have changed and it’s time to bring workers back to strengthen collaboration and service delivery.
About 9,000 are with the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees.
It says members are being ordered back full time in part to help boost local economies – an accusation the government rejects.
