City of Ottawa reviewing hybrid work policy for municipal staff [Video]

The City of Ottawa is reviewing its hybrid work policy for municipal employees, with staff currently only required to be in the office a minimum of two days a week.

Approximately 85 per cent of Ottawa’s 17,000 municipal employees are required to be onsite or in the workplace each day and five days a week. The remainder of the city’s employees are in roles that are eligible for hybrid work, which requires staff to be in the office a minimum of two days a week.

The city’s hybrid work policy is different than the federal government’s new policy, which requires civil servants in the core public service to be in the office a minimum of three days a week.
