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.
