On Thursday, June 24, I'll be moderating a webinar on federal telework initiatives and what's next for telework across the federal government. As I've written about before in Wired Workplace, Congress is considering legislation that would eventually require 20 percent of the eligible federal workforce to telework at least one day per week. The Office of Personnel Management also is piloting a Results-Only Work Environment program that allows 400 federal employees to decide when and where to work, as long as they meet high performance standards.
What does this mean for federal agencies? Jennifer Carignan, associate manager for research at the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, and Danette Campbell, senior adviser for telework at the Patent and Trademark Office, will share their insights on telework's future and how you can create a model telework program at your agency.
