Telework Management

Technology advancements over the past two decades have revolutionized the flow of information and how offices world-wide conduct business. These advancements allowed workers to move away from “brick and mortar” office spaces and conduct their full scope of business operations seamlessly and transparently.  For Federal agencies there are several telework mandates and regulations that must considered when developing and maintaining a telework program. All agencies are required to develop a telework program according to Public Law 106-346. The Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 provides a framework for agencies to better leverage technology and to maximize the use of flexible work arrangements. The three key objectives of the Act include: (1) Improve Continuity of Operations (COOP), (2) Promote Management Effectiveness and (3) Enhance Work-Life Balance.  OPM Consultants can help agencies meet these mandates and establish effective Telework Programs.  OPM Consultants partner with agency Telework program managers to address the individual and organizational performance issues necessary to create and sustain a productive and effective telework environment.  OPM can provide interactive trainings and workshops tailored to agency specific telework program requirements (such as training supervisors on managing remote employees), evaluate agency telework policies to ensure a strong foundation for the agency program, and perform position and organizational analyses to determine telework-compatible jobs.
