On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end remote work in the federal government, requiring all employees to return to in-person work. This order compels federal officials to act quickly to eliminate remote work but does allow some exceptions. Additionally, Trump reinstated the 'Schedule F' policy, which reclassifies certain positions in the federal workforce as at-will, facilitating easier termination of employees. This move aims to increase accountability in workforce management, addressing existing concerns over supervisors' power to enforce discipline and performance standards.
Trump's executive order mandates a return to full in-person work for federal employees, ending remote work policies and enforcing accountability in the workforce.
The order necessitates federal departments to terminate remote work "as soon as practicable," while allowing for exceptions under certain circumstances.
With the reinstatement of Schedule F, the order allows the designation of federal roles that can be considered at-will, making it easier to dismiss employees.
Concerns over supervision persist, as only 41% of civil service supervisors feel they can effectively handle misconduct, and even fewer manage performance issues.
