Telework policies are shown to enhance the efficiency of the federal government while attracting and retaining talent. A recent executive order mandating a return to the office undermines these advantages, negatively affecting federal workers and service delivery to citizens. Studies suggest that remote work, particularly for complex roles, improves productivity by reducing time wasted on commuting and office distractions. Furthermore, telework facilitates quick governmental responses during emergencies, highlighting the need for more flexible work arrangements that allow for both effective collaboration and individual agency during crises.
The reality is that telework policies make the federal government more efficient and help it attract and retain talent, creating a net benefit that meets presidential goals.
The new return-to-office executive order threatens core objectives of workforce flexibility and resilience during emergencies, negatively impacting federal employees and service to the public.
