Telework: The Office is Wherever I am

As the global pandemic continues and countries wait for a vaccine, estimates about when federal employees will return to their offices in force vary. Many organizations have discovered the advantages of telework and now plan on expanding its use. Although some jobs require on-site personnel, OPM said that 42% of federal employees are classified as eligible for telework, but only 22% actually participated pre-COVID-19. Now agencies are looking at the lessons from the past year and are preparing plans to address challenges such as technology equality, effective management, metrics to measure employee effectiveness and fostering collaboration in a distributed work world.

In this workshop, industry leaders discussed how they learned to manage differently, foster interpersonal ties in remote teams and stay aligned with the organization’s mission.
