Indiana Rescinds 8,486 Hybrid Work Agreements for State Employees

News summary

Indiana Governor Mike Braun has rescinded nearly 8,500 hybrid remote work agreements for state employees, ending mixed in-office and remote schedules in favor of either fully in-office or fully remote work. Indiana Secretary of Management and Budget Lisa Hershman explained that this change aims to maximize value and productivity by encouraging collaboration, following months of planning that considered job duties, budgets, and office resources. The number of active remote work agreements has dropped sharply from over 10,500 in January to just 537 by July 1, although roles suited for full-time remote work will increase that number by about 1,200 in coming months. Governor Braun acknowledged some resistance but noted most employees have complied and emphasized the state's low unemployment rate, suggesting displaced workers can find other jobs. Meanwhile, the total state workforce decreased by nearly 1,000 employees between December 2024 and June 2025. Hershman indicated some flexibility remains in the process, accounting for specific job functions and operational needs.
