The administration of Gov. Mike Kehoe officially concluded remote work arrangements for most state employees on July 1, reversing policies established during the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift aims to improve customer service through face-to-face interactions and foster collaboration among employees. However, challenges have arisen, particularly at the Missouri Department of Social Services, where staff struggle with parking and office space. Solutions are being sought to mitigate these issues as the workforce transitions back to in-person duties.
The governor's office stated it wanted to enhance customer service through face-to-face interactions and boost collaboration among workers by having them together in the office.
At the Missouri Department of Social Services, workers have faced problems finding space for both working in the office building and parking outside of it.
Managers are exploring both short- and long-term solutions to support our teams as in-office work continues to increase.
Reintroducing in-person interactions will leverage our success and provide mutual benefits for both individual team members and the agency.
