Representatives of the 2022 Two Sessions suggested allowing remote work 1-2 days a week: How to implement it specifically? Will it be implemented?

Recently, with the convening of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, some representatives' proposals have also attracted everyone's attention, including those related to childbirth and some related to work. Among them, the National People’s Congress representatives suggested allowing remote work 1-2 days a week. How to implement it specifically? Will it be implemented?

1. What is the matter with the 2022 Two Sessions representatives suggesting allowing remote work 1-2 days a week?

On March 3, Huang Xihua, deputy to the National People's Congress, member of the Standing Committee of the Huizhou Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, will submit a "Suggestion on Promoting the 3+2 Hybrid Office Model." He introduced that due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, a trend of remote work has been set off around the world. Office technologies such as Internet remote conferencing and collaborative work software are becoming increasingly mature, and many large multinational companies abroad allow their employees to work remotely. Currently, Ctrip has launched a 3+2 hybrid working model, allowing employees to choose to work remotely for 1-2 days every Wednesday and Friday. The company has found in practice that not only is employee work efficiency not affected, but employee satisfaction has also been greatly improved. Netizens have discussed the proposal as follows:

1. Netizen 1: This suggestion is really great. It will definitely improve the enthusiasm of employees. Many units have too much ineffective work. It turns out that slacking off has become a way of self-regulation and stress relief. It would be better to let employees work remotely for a day.

2. Netizen 2: In order to cooperate with the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, flexible working hours, working from home, and remote working have become ways for some companies to maintain company operations. Support flexible working hours and reduce overtime!

3. Netizen 3: As a result, companies that have two days off a week allow employees to work from home on Saturdays and Sundays, while companies that do not have two days off a week count the days as 24 hours after get off work and allow employees to work from home. Companies that do not have any holidays have their wages deducted, under the pretext that they do not need to get paid as much if they do not work from home.

4. Netizen 4: This is a great suggestion. What we lack now is not production, but consumption! This will greatly promote domestic consumption!

2. How to implement remote work 1-2 days a week?

1. Explore the 3+2 hybrid office model for qualified enterprises and institutions

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has organized a pilot program, combining the nature of work and employment practices of enterprises and institutions to actively promote a hybrid office model, allowing employees to choose to work remotely 1-2 days a week to better balance work and family life and enhance employee happiness and satisfaction.

2. Ensure and support the implementation of the hybrid office model from the legal system level

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has established a scientific and reasonable legal guarantee mechanism for the hybrid office model, standardized and guided the management of the hybrid office model, and protected the rights and interests of workers in remote work.

3. Strictly require enterprises that provide remote office products or services to comply with relevant laws and regulations of my country.

Provide safe protection for corporate information and personal privacy, and ensure the network security and data security of our country's enterprises.

3. Will remote work be allowed 1-2 days a week?

It will be difficult to implement remote work 1-2 days a week in 2022, as this will be detrimental to employee management. For many manufacturing industries, it is necessary to have personnel on duty, but for the Internet industry, this solution is feasible.
In general, the suggestion of allowing remote work 1-2 days a week by representatives of the 2022 Two Sessions was proposed by Huang Xihua, which caused a lot of heated discussion, with both support and opposition.
