Federal agencies in the Washington, D.C. area will close four hours early on Friday due to a major snowstorm. Alyssa Rosenberg writes at Government Executive that the latest snowstorm has drawn attention to the administration's efforts to increase telework at federal agencies.
In a memo sent to the government's chief human capital officers on Thursday, Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry noted that the snowstorm presents an opportunity for agencies to test their telework plans in the context of an emergency, and encouraged CHCOs to allow agency employees with existing telework agreements to work remotely on Friday.
Are you teleworking through the storm on Friday? Do you have the appropriate technology and proper management to make teleworking, particularly in a time of emergency, effective?
