Latest Research...

Fed office says the payoff for teleworking is “extraordinary”

The office of the Inspector General for Tax Administration may be the current federal champion when it comes to teleworking, with 86% of its employees now working remotely.
The agency has been able to close a few offices, and “productivity levels have gone up every year exponentially,” says Jennifer Donnan, who helped get the program going. The office has taken steps to improve communication, purchasing computer video cameras for the staff. All have agency laptops, and Associate Inspector General Larry Koskinen says the cameras make for more efficient meetings with good personal interaction. Conducting one conference online saved about $7,000 in travel costs. Says Koskinen, “It’s really pretty extraordinary.” Most federal agencies have expanded their telework programs or at least held steady, but the Pentagon cut its numbers of remote workers from 34,880 to17,921. A report gave two reasons having to do with security and war efforts, but neither, says this article, fully explain the cutback.
