California Governor Gavin Newsom mandated a return to office work without utilizing data on worker productivity or office space requirements. An audit revealed this decision could cost the state significantly and highlighted the inefficiencies of a generalized telework policy. The report suggested savings of up to $225 million annually by allowing a hybrid work model of two days in-office. Supporters argue that flexible work arrangements could benefit both state finances and environmental goals by reducing commuting.
California could save as much as $225 million per year and reduce office space by nearly a third if it sticks to having employees in the office two days a week.
Governor Gavin Newsom ordered workers back to the office without data on productivity and ignored important information about office space needs and costs.
A one-size-fits-all approach to telework may limit opportunities for significant cost savings, according to State Auditor Grant Parks.
Flexible hybrid work policies can save the state money and help achieve ambitious climate and emissions goals by reducing commuting.
