In a three point directive to the public service commissioner Minister, Nicola Willis said; working from home is not an entittlement, it should only be agreed to if it doesnt compromise the performance of employees and agency objectives and lastly, agencies must actively monitor the the prevalence and impact of the working from home agreements and report this information.
