The Office of Personnel Management held a recent chief
human capital officers council meeting at a Fairfax, Va.
telework center to familiarize personnel officials from
16 federal agencies with the process.
Part of the meeting focused on NoCommute.org, an
organization that operates some of the telework centers
surrounding Washington D.C.
Vince Taylor, chief human capital officer for the
Department of Transportation announced plans to increase
use of the practice. “At DoT, with the exception of the
Federal Aviation Administration, we have reached our
first goal of arranging for 25 percent of our work force
to telecommute. Our next goal is to share more information
with our employees about the telework centers and try to
get more of our managers to visit one of the centers to
get a hands-on view of the telework sites. This hopefully
will help us reach our stretch goal,” he said.
