The Navy’s telework coordinator recently issued advice to Navy civilian employees that is equally germane to employees of other agencies seeking to telecommute. Despite urging from Congress, central management agencies and individual employing agencies, the percentage of federal employee who telecommute remains low; most studies attribute the low rate partly or largely to management reluctance to let employees work from outside the regular office. The Navy message advises employees to create a “best business case” for teleworking. It advises: “Start the telework application process by answering the following questions. How does your activity/command benefit from you teleworking? Can you increase your productivity? Can you save your activity/command any money? Do you have work that can be done at an alternative site more efficiently? Discuss these benefits of teleworking with your supervisor. You might be able to save yourself time, money and create a better work product all at the same time.”
