Premier Wab Kinew says his government will look at the hybrid or remote work practice in the public sector over the next few months.
Doctors and nurses may soon start seeing more managers in the workplace once again.
Premier Wab Kinew says his government will look at the hybrid or remote work practice in the public sector over the next few months.
“If you work with people who have no choice but to show up on the front lines, then I think we need to show up too,” Kinew said at an event Friday.
During the pandemic, many workers across North America left office spaces behind and began working remotely.
Conversely, people on the front lines, like doctors, nurses, snow plow operators and more, continued to work in person.
Premier Kinew questioned how managers are able to manage people who must show up in person if they’re not doing the same.
“I think it's tough for us to credibly say we're going to improve the culture or we're going to match the commitment of people on the front lines if we're not showing up ourselves, he said.
