In a notable shift from his earlier stance, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has approved a policy that allows thousands of city agency employees to work remotely two days a week.

The decision, expected to come into effect this month, offers a significant level of flexibility to employees who have been seeking this change. Adams’ decision comes even as he continues his efforts to revitalize the city’s office districts, indicating a balanced approach to employee needs and the city’s economy.

The hybrid work plan results from negotiations with the city’s largest municipal union earlier this year. The agreement is expected to affect tens of thousands of city workers over the next two years.

To further showcase his acknowledgment of the changing workplace dynamics, Adams has also announced the launch of pilot projects designed to offer more flexible scheduling for work that cannot be performed remotely, such as police patrols. In a statement, Adams said, “I have always said that any flexible work programs the city offers must acknowledge the reality that there are some roles that cannot be performed remotely.”

The decision to enable partial remote work comes as employers across the country have faced pushback against enforcing full-time in-office work. This opposition has gained traction as a significant number of employees have grown accustomed to telecommuting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While recognizing these changing dynamics, Adams emphasizes that the hybrid program will maintain the provision of core services that New Yorkers depend on while offering city workers the added benefit of flexibility in their schedules.

The number of city employees eligible for remote work arrangements remains unclear. A city official confirmed that more than 30 city agencies are expected to adopt hybrid work eventually. The initiative is set to kick off with the Housing Preservation and Development and Social Services departments.
