ISLAMABAD:
In a decisive move under the federal government’s ongoing austerity drive, the National Assembly Secretariat has announced that 50 percent of its workforce will transition to working from home, effective immediately.
The directive aims to significantly curtail operational expenditures, reduce utility consumption, and optimize administrative efficiency within the apex legislative body.
According to official notifications issued by the administration, the rotational work-from-home policy applies to non-essential staff across various departments and directorates.
Senior management has been instructed to ensure that core parliamentary functions and ongoing administrative tasks remain uninterrupted while implementing the workforce reduction inside the physical offices.
This administrative restructuring aligns with broader federal initiatives to curb government spending amidst pressing economic challenges and fiscal constraints.
By cutting down on daily commutes, electricity usage, and office supplies, authorities anticipate a notable decrease in departmental overheads, setting a precedent for other public sector institutions to follow suit in resource management.
Further reviews of the policy’s efficacy are expected in the coming weeks as department heads monitor productivity levels and attendance rosters.
The Secretariat maintains that public service delivery will not be compromised, emphasizing digital connectivity and remote coordination to bridge any operational gaps during the rotational schedule.
