With the aim of strengthening institutional support and ensuring a greater safety and efficiency in teleworking, the Court of Justice of the State of Tocantins (TJTO) is launching the Teleworking Manual, a practical guide aimed at civil servers who work away from the physical premises of the body.
Currently, 51 civil servers of the TJTO perform their duties in this way. In order to meet the demands of this public, the Manual was drawn up by the Projects Division of the Directorate of People Management (Digep), with the collaboration of an accredited psychologist from the Multidisciplinary Team Management Group (GGEM) and technical support from the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (Esmat).
The 23-page document provides guidance on how the teleworking system works in the Judiciary of the state of Tocantins, including information on the legislation and criteria for joining, the duration and extension of the system, the request flow, the responsibilities of the civil server, psychological reception channels, prevention of mental illness and measures to deal with moral and sexual harassment in a remote environment.
More than just regulating the practice, the initiative seeks to offer welcome and promote quality of life for professionals, valuing the balance between productivity and well-being.
The teleworking regime at the TJTO was established by the Resolution No. 20 of 2020 and it allows civil servers to carry out their activities remotely with the support of digital technologies. The proposal aims to increase productivity, reduce costs and travel, retain talent, foster sustainability and stimulate innovation in the public service.
To join the modality, it is necessary to submit a work plan with clear goals, take a preparatory course and wait for approval from the Teleworking Management Committee and authorization from the Presidency. The work can be national or even abroad, as long as it is justified and in the interests of the administration.
Priority is given to people with disabilities or reduced mobility, pregnant and breastfeeding women, civil servers with disabled dependents or who are on leave to accompany their spouse. Professionals with a good performance and organizational profile can also take part.
The Manual makes it clear that trainees, civil servers on probation, those who have direct subordinates who are being disciplined or who have medical contraindications are not allowed to teleworking.
Teleworking may last up to two years, with the possibility of an extension. Performance is assessed based on meeting targets, which must be higher than those achieved by face-to-face employees.
Available online, the Teleworking Manual represents a step forward in valuing civil servers and consolidating a modern, flexible institutional culture committed to excellence.
