Scotsdale Mandates Mandates on Return to Position ” – Tribune East Valley

In what turned into a regular 5-2 votes, the Scottsdale Municipal Council at the February 11 meeting approved a resolution that required a “return to office work in personality”.

Long after promoting the pandemic, working from the home, the City Council adopted a resolution to “find that personal work in the office is preferred for remote work, as work personally allows increased efficiency for residents, as well as additional mentoring, training and opportunities for Employee growth. “

Selected employees in the city also directed the charter employees, “to look at all the positions that currently work remotely within their organization, and to develop a plan for the return of employees to work in a timely manner at their discretion.”

The wife of the Veteran Council Solange Whitehead has complained that the new conservative majority in the City Council is again acting irrational.

“I would like to see data,” Whitehead said. “What we do is make decisions blindly.”

She complained: “We really don’t know how many people don’t work in the office.

“They ask me to vote for something and not to provide me with any information to make a decision.”

Advisor Katie Littlefield counters that the return of the office “creates the highest and best service”.

Soviet Merian McAlan and Whitehead voted against the offer to return the office. Mcallen and WhiteHead were also the only two who opposed the termination of DEI programs in the city.

Several who sent comments to the City Council agreed with Whitehead’s opposition, including Linda Aires:

“I firmly believe that remote and hybrid work schedules have proved effective and useful for both employees and workplace.”

Victor Assad, who defines as a “strategic human resource consultant”, posted this when talking during public comments.

He also sent a long email and attachment, referring to statistics such as “Home workers report 98% satisfaction with their style of work” and remote work “saves companies from $ 10,000 to $ 20,000 per employee annually by reducing costs For real estate, turnover and absent and increasing the productivity of employees. “

Email from Linda Ritso said the advice was on the right path when returning the office workers:

“As a person who has worked in an office and also remotely, I believe that the presence of the office is much more useful to achieve and cooperate than work in a remote situation.”
