British Columbia's incoming premier, Lorne Doerkson, has stated his preference for public servants to return to office work, while acknowledging that some hybrid work arrangements may continue. In an interview discussing his government's priorities, Doerkson emphasized that while flexibility in remote work is likely to persist, his preference is for employees to return to physical workplaces. This stance contrasts with provinces like Alberta and Ontario, which have mandated full-time in-office work, and follows the federal government's directive for public servants to return to the office four days a week. B.C.'s public service had previously adopted flexible work arrangements to attract a broader range of workers, particularly from communities outside major urban centers like Vancouver and Victoria. The province's approach aimed to recruit employees who could work from anywhere in B.C., supporting remote work options. However, the B.C. General Employees Union has expressed concerns, noting that remote work has helped reduce real estate costs and provided economic benefits to smaller communities. Union president Paul Finch highlighted that remote workers in rural areas serve as key economic drivers in former resource communities. Doerkson indicated that while the government will engage in discussions about potential changes to remote work policies, his preference remains for a return to office-based work. The premier-designate is expected to be sworn in later this month following the provincial election results, which will be finalized on November 18.
