"A key recommendation in the 77-page report is for the state government to return to an in-person work standard for all employees whose duties can be performed on-site, stating that the changes would improve collaboration among workers and service to the public. "While remote work arrangements were necessary during the pandemic, they are not a sustainable long-term model for an organization whose mission depends on teamwork, public access, and responsive service,""
"Another recommendation calls for breaking up the "behemoth" state Department of Health and Human Services and delegating its many responsibilities to other agencies to improve service and accountability. "This is an amazing opportunity to rethink how New Hampshire delivers essential services to its most vulnerable citizens," "By creating smaller, more agile agencies with well-defined missions and clear accountability, the state can strengthen, not weaken, its commitment to those it serves, ensuring that resources are used efficiently, transparently, and effectively.""
The New Hampshire Commission on Government Efficiency, chaired by former Republican Gov. Craig Benson, issued recommendations for wide-ranging changes to state operations aimed at improving efficiency and reducing wasteful spending. The commission urges a return to an in-person work standard for employees whose duties can be performed on-site, citing strengthened accountability, improved coordination across agencies, and better service to the public. The commission also calls for dismantling the large Department of Health and Human Services and reallocating its functions to smaller, mission-focused agencies to improve service, transparency, and accountability. Gov. Kelly Ayotte welcomed the recommendations.
