KUALA TERENGGANU: Civil servants working in states affected by the transboundary haze may carry out their duties under the Hybrid Working Day (HBH) policy.

Public Service Department director-general Tan Sri Dr Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz said the haze problem coincided with the government's introduction of the HBH policy, which came into effect on Aug 1.

He said department heads, particularly in states affected by haze, were allowed to implement the HBH arrangement.

"Department heads must set key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure civil servants' productivity remains a priority even when they work from home under the hybrid arrangement," he said.
