Government Business Council and TANDBERG recently teamed up to study telework habits, challenges, and best practices in federal government.
Some key findings from the study:
- Over 90% of respondents cited phone and email as required tools to telework.
- 95% of respondents reported their home office was the chief location for teleworking.
- Among respondents who are eligible, the most widely reported reason for not teleworking is an unsupportive manager (45%).
- 67% of respondents believe that agencies can overcome concerns about supervision by setting clear goals for teleworkers.
