Telework Turnaround?
The San Jose Mercury News reports that technology giant Hewlett-Packard is eliminating telework for all employees in the information technology division of the company. HP believes that putting its IT employees together in the same office will make them work "swifter and smarter."
While telework is a growing trend in the federal government, the concept has received negative publicity in the wake of the theft of personal data on veterans from a VA employee's home. VA Secretary James Nicholson said that he wants to know how many agency employees are working from and the department is reconsidering its telecommuting policies.--Daniel Pulliam
