REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT TO CONDUCT A SAMPLE SURVEY OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE STATE WITHIN THE FOR-PROFIT, NONPROFIT, AND GOVERNMENT SECTORS THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED REMOTE WORK, HYBRID WORK, OR TELEWORK ARRANGEMENTS.

This Senate Resolution requests the Department of Human Resources Development to survey organizations across for-profit, nonprofit, and government sectors that have successfully implemented remote, hybrid, or telework arrangements. The bill aims to gather data on best practices for managing these work styles, such as clear communication guidelines and training materials, to help the state address high housing costs and workforce shortages. By identifying successful models, the resolution seeks to inform strategies that could allow employees to work from more affordable areas while maintaining productivity. The document also notes that supporting remote work requires investments in broadband infrastructure and co-working facilities to ensure equitable access for all workers.
