More Federal Employees are Teleworking More Often

Federal employees who reported they telework three or more days a week (4 percent), those teleworking one to two days a week (10 percent) and those who telework only rarely (11 percent) all rose one percentage point, compared with 2013, according to the annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.

Fewer feds who don’t telework said technology was their primary obstacle (5 percent versus 6 percent the last two years). The number who said they weren’t approved for telework despite having telework-appropriate jobs dropped to 20 percent from 21 percent last year. 77 percent said they were happy with their agencies' telework program -- up from 76 percent last year and 70 percent in 2011.
