Lots More Teleworkers

My colleague Allan Holmes has a post over at Nextgov's Tech Insider blog on a panel discussion about telework at the Gov 2.0 Expo in Washington.

It seems that an as-yet-unreleased OPM survey has found that 10 percent of federal employees say they telework at least one day a week. That would work out to roughly 200,000 feds -- a lot more than previously thought. And almost half of employees say they don't telework either because they can't due to the nature of their work, or because they simply don't want to.

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
