City of London maintains hybrid work schedule amid Ford urging an end to remote work

Premier Ford asking municipalities to have their employees return to work five days a week.

Despite Premier Doug Ford’s pressure on municipalities to return all workers to the office five days a week, the City of London said the hybrid work schedule continues for now.

In a statement, London’s acting city manager said the city is following council’s direction to have a permanent hybrid work policy.

“This decision comes after extensive assessments and pilot programs, all aimed at optimizing our workspace and improving our ability to serve our residents effectively,” said Paul Ladouceur, acting deputy city manager.

Last week, Ford announced remote work for provincial staff would end in January.
