Scheduling a small office with herself and three other employees is tricky business, says Tamara Adams of the General Services Administration.
The Chicago-based human resources manager has to navigate everybody’s vacations, alternative work schedules, flex days, sick days and — most recently — telework days to make sure someone is always around to help her on any given day. One of her specialists teleworks once a week; soon, the other two specialists in her office will begin teleworking regularly as well. “I may need one of those transparent overlays to track everybody,” she said.
Like Adams, many managers across government say they see the benefit of teleworking, but they question whether the effort to promote more teleworking is worth the trouble.
