Governor Newsom Orders State Employees Back to the Office
Governor Newsom ordered state agencies to require at least four in-office days per week starting July 1, 2025.

Some employees may get telework exceptions, but the goal is better efficiency in our state government.
Given the issues the state is facing, the state is streamlining the hiring process to fill vacancies. For example, for jobs in firefighting.
How It Impacts You
The return-to-office mandate could raise demand for office space, affecting government leases. Property managers should expect:
- More leasing: State agencies may renew or expand office space.
- More office use: More employees in-person means greater demand for office amenities, security services, and maintenance.
- More commuting: Increased workers may affect parking patterns.
