General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Joanne Mangan:
I am not considering telling people how to spend their time. If they wish to spend that time working, that is completely up to them. It may be that they are enjoying their job and want to put some extra time in. However, as a cultural shift, we need to move away from the idea that the employee has been gifted this time by his or her employer and needs to give something back in response. We are looking for a cultural shift.
