Telework Tips

Last Thursday, I moderated a webinar on the current state of telework programs across the federal government. Joining me were two special guests - Jennifer Carignan, an associate manager for research at the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, and Danette Campbell, senior telework advisor at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office - who both gave excellent presentations on what's next for federal telework.

Participants in the live webinar were asked to answer three polling questions about telework at their agency. When asked how often they currently telework, for example, 64 percent of participants said not at all, while 33 percent said they telework one to two days per week. Eighty-three percent of participants said they could telework at least one to two days per week and still remain as productive as they currently are at the office. In addition, 90 percent of participants indicated that their agency is technologically capable of supporting telework.
