For more than 15 years, tens of thousands of AMAPCEO members and other public sector workers have successfully incorporated a balance of in-office and remote work into our professional lives.
And for the last five years especially—including during the worst of the pandemic—we rose above and beyond to serve the people of Ontario from anywhere.
We’ve shown time and time again that the public’s trust in us is warranted, and that we should be treated like the capable, trustworthy professionals that we are.
Remote work works, and provides numerous benefits to employees, the government, and the people of Ontario, including:
savings to taxpayers
higher worker morale and productivity
improved work/life balance
greater accessibility for workers of all abilities
reduced greenhouse gas emissions
reduced traffic congestion
reduced pressure on our overburdened, underfunded public transit systems
If the public sector is to be seen as the “innovative, diverse, eco-friendly and accessible workplace” it says it aspires to be, the Secretary of Cabinet should reverse her decision to eliminate remote and hybrid work within Ontario's public service and agencies.
Add your name to our petition and tell Ontario’s Secretary of Cabinet: remote work works!
