Government lags in providing telework-enabling tech to employees, study says

Many government information workers still don't have mobile technologies to support the kind of location flexibility that would make telework much easier, according to a new study by Forrester Research.

The study compared the responses of private and public-sector IT employees in Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. Approximately 700 of the survey respondents were North American and European local and federal government information workers, according to the Jan. 28 study. Many of the respondents were managers.
