Civilian Defense Department employees will have greater opportunities to work from home, under a telework policy unveiled April 20. Now, department heads are encouraged to promote teleworking. As long as mission requirements are not compromised, managers will remove barriers and increase the number of positions eligible for teleworking. More focus will be directed toward implementation of teleworking during emergencies. Details are available online at http://www.cpms.osd.mil/telework/telework_index.aspx.
