The challenges of remote work
Posted: Monday, October 21, 2024

The challenges of remote work
Having more public servants work remotely would bring immediate benefits. Consider traffic alone. According to figures from the Government’s Personnel Department, 57,000 of 83,000 public servants are monthly-paid workers. The majority of them can probably do most of their work from home. Figures from the Central Statistical Office (CSO) also show that the government employs about 25% of the national labour force, or about 150,000 people. Taking even a fraction of them off the roads at peak hours would greatly ease traffic congestion.
