An elected official wants to ban remote work after one complaint about a planner working from home. What should the CHRO put in the decision packet?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One complaint is a weather report from a single porch, not a climate study. Banning remote work off that porch can blow up vacancy and applicant flow without anyone checking. Bring comparable-jurisdiction data so the decision is a packet, not a reaction.
Full Explanation
SPHR recommendations are evidence packets, not reactions to a single anecdote. Remote-work policy affects absenteeism, vacancy, and applicant flow, and those effects are knowable from comparable jurisdictions. Putting that data in front of the elected official reframes a complaint-driven ban as a workforce strategy choice. Without it, the city risks a policy that solves one story and creates a staffing problem.
