By: FEDweek StaffOPM is establishing a tool for agencies to better track use of offsite work that it says “will provide agencies with necessary insight and information” to use in setting their policies for telework and remote work.
“It is critical that agencies can make informed decisions on the impact that their policies are having on their workforce planning efforts, overall workforce, and the ability to meet their mission. We have heard from the agencies, through ongoing re-entry support activities, that having more refined data related to telework and remote work will assist you in evaluating how employee work arrangements are impacting key workforce considerations—such as productivity, recruitment, and retention—that are critical to successful organizational performance,” says a memo on chcoc.gov.
That is to be done through new data elements in the Enterprise Human Resources Integration system for remote work/telework agreement type and instances of use in a pay period and hours in a pay period of remote work.
“Once implemented, they have the potential to improve government-wide reporting of federal employee participation in remote work, telework and mobile work, as well as allow OPM to evaluate trends and determine how such work arrangements might advance the accomplishment of mission critical requirements and organizational effectiveness,” the memo says.
