West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi or commonly called KDM has allowed state civil servants (ASN) in the local government not to enter the office on the birthday of their biological mother, as an award for family values.
Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that this policy is not just a work leniency, but an effort to inject the humanism side into the government system which has been fixated on the formality of the precession, so it is hoped that it will become the foundation of mental health and productivity of state servants.
"I provide space for ASN, when their mother's birthday, may not enter the office. This is a form of appreciation for family values. Digitalization provides flexible space for ASN to remain productive without losing their role in the family," said Dedi as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, November 19.
Dedi emphasized that in the digital era, the "craft to the office" paradigm is no longer relevant as a single benchmark for performance. He encourages a measurable working from home (WFH) mechanism from the quality of planning and output achievements, not the duration of sitting at the desk.
This step, as well as a regional budget efficiency strategy. The reduction in office density significantly reduces the cost of electricity, water, internet use, and the fuel of official vehicles.
"Don't be too many people in the office if you're not productive. ASN performance is about output quality. I myself rarely work in the office, more around executing problems," he said.
In this policy, Dedi ensured that the principle of justice was maintained. When administrative employees get time flexibility and closeness to their families, technical employees who risk their lives in the field will receive appropriate financial compensation.
The West Java Provincial Government, he said, has prepared a special allowance increase scheme for ASN with high work risk, such as supervision of illegal mining closures, as well as bridge and irrigation monitoring officers.
"I am committed, for field employees who are full of risks, there are threats, supervising heavy construction, I will increase their allowances," he said.
The governor has instructed Regional Secretary Herman Suryatman and Head of BKD Dedi Supandi to express this humanist vision and efficiency into binding technical regulations, in order to ensure that public services continue to run optimally even with a more fluid work pattern.
