The report shows that, contrary to congressional concerns, federal agencies are easily exceeding the administration's 50 percent in-office goal for telework-eligible employees. Government-wide, roughly 61 percent of the work hours performed by telework-eligible federal employees have been in-person.
About 54 percent of the federal government's 2.2 million employees work fully in person due to job requirements, with the other 46 percent eligible for telework. Among those eligible for telework, only about 10 percent work fully remotely.
The data indicate that a majority of federal employees are already meeting or exceeding in-office expectations, suggesting that telework is not as pervasive as some lawmakers may have believed.
Agencies such as the Departments of Agriculture and State have approximately 80 percent of their telework-eligible employees working in person, reflecting the diverse operational needs and missions of federal agencies.
