Abbott Mandates Full-Time Office Returns for Texas State Employees Amid 'Present and Engaged' Focus
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered all state employees to return to office full-time, mirroring a Trump-era mandate for federal workers, requiring them to be 'present and engaged' in the workplace.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that he will require all state employees to return to the office full-time, following a similar mandate imposed by the Trump administration on federal workers. The new policy aims to promote 'present and engaged' staff members who can be more productive in an in-person setting. This decision marks a significant change from the flexible work arrangements that many state employees have enjoyed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Abbott's office has not specified when this policy will take effect or how it will be implemented.
