"Mothers' telecommuting" depends on the approval of managers

The Secretary of the National Population Headquarters identified the lack of sufficient support from the private sector as the cause of this issue and stated: This issue requires the government to support the private sector in this field so that the mothers of the employees working in the private sector can also use vacations and telecommuting.

The secretary of the National Population Headquarters explained about the approach of this secretariat in implementing the telework policy of mothers in various institutions.

Marzieh Vahiddastjardi, in a conversation with Arjan's ambassador, talked about the implementation of telecommuting for mothers in different institutions and whether the National Population Headquarters has a mechanism to monitor and implement these cases in all organizations. She said: Some institutions, such as the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science, implement telecommuting well, and some ministries do not agree with teleworking of mothers and are not very successful in this field.

The secretary of the Jamiat national headquarters added: We are following up on the received complaints. Of course, the law has a flaw, because it is said that teleworking of mothers must be accompanied by the approval of the highest official in charge of the relevant department, and since the priority of managers is the presence of the workforce, most of them do not agree with teleworking of mothers; However, the Secretariat of the National Population Headquarters is following up on the complaints of people and government employees. In the meantime, what happened is that in the private sector, mothers' leave and remote work are not applied.
