Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration
Telework is emerging as a critical work option for the Federal Government and its employees. Telework increases productivity, enhances employee work/life balance, cuts commuting costs, and saves money for taxpayers. Telework is also important to maintain a steady workforce and resume business operations in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Our agency offers telework. Does yours? Telework is good for me, it's good for families, it's good for my agency, and it's good for America's productivity. Let's put telework into drive.
Kathy Kadilak
Worklife Program Manager
Department of Justice
Telework options provide employers with significant advantages in efforts to recruit the best and the brightest. Many current Federal employees, including myself, consider the ability to telework regularly a crucial part of our benefits packages. I have actually turned down job offers elsewhere that would have offered higher pay, due to the inability to match my telework arrangement. Telework is good for me, it's good for my agency, and it's good for the American workforce. Let's put telework into drive.
Nicholas Ramfos
Director
Commuter Connections
The increase in traffic in the Washington Metropolitan area is causing significant wear and tear on the roadways. This results in more frequent road maintenance and repairs as well as one of the worst traffic areas in the nation. Telework helps manage traffic congestion as well as maintain employee productivity, improve employee recruitment and retention, and support business continuity preparedness. Telework is good for me, it's good for you, and it's good for area traffic. Let's put telework into drive.
Jody Nyers
Benefits Systems Analyst
National Finance Center
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Telework Exchange research shows that the average Federal employee spends more time commuting than on vacation every year. Telework enables me to avoid the 2 and a half hour commute every day. My work is of a higher quality, it's produced on time or in advance of deadline. Telework is good me and my family, its great for my agency, and its excellent for America. Let's put telework into drive.
Sue Whitney
Telework Coordinator
National Finance Center

Would all those who want to reduce the time they sit in traffic, cut travel costs, increase productivity, and ensure a stable government, while cleaning up the environment, please raise your hand? Telework makes sense. Talk to your manager about your telework options. Telework is good for you, it's good for your family, it's good for your manager, its good for your agency, and it's good for America's productivity. Let's put telework into drive
Karen Hogan
Acting Chief Information Officer
Department of Commerce
At Commerce, we are exploring a range of options and strategies for Continuity of Operations Planning, including teleworking. We know agencies that include telework in their business continuity plans will be better prepared to weather a catastrophic event. Telework empowers Federal employees with the mobility to work from anywhere, under many circumstances. Telework is good for my office, it's good for the Department of Commerce workforce, and it's good for America's disaster preparedness. Let's put telework into drive.
John O'Keefe
Acting Director General
U.S. Department of State
We recognize the value the telework can bring to Federal employees and their agencies. By implementing telework, employees can increase productivity, and have greater job satisfaction and enhanced work/life balance. We offer telework to all our employees who qualify. It is good for our agency, it is good for our employees, and it is good for the Federal government. Let's put telework into high gear.
Jim Van Derhoff
Chief Information Officer
U.S. Department of State
This is Jim Van Derhoff, Chief Information Officer at the U.S. Department of State. I would like to talk about teleworking at our agency. By implementing telework technology at the Department of State, our employees are able to securely log on and work from any location at any time that allows them to stay in touch with our 254 embassies and consulates around the world. Mobile computing technology is here to stay and will only get better as more people take advantage of this exciting program. Telework is good for my agency, it's good for business community, and it's good for the Federal government. Let's shift telework into high gear.
Ronald Simmons
Scientific and Technical Advisor
Federal Aviation Administration
Hello, my name is Ronald Simmons. I serve as the Scientific and Technical Advisor at the Federal Aviation Administration. Telework offers Federal employees the opportunity to work from a remote location, while increasing productivity, reducing commuting costs, and ensuring a more secure and stable government. The latest telework technology allows employees to logon and access data securely, from anywhere, at any time. The technologies here - offering telework makes sense. Telework is good for my agency, it's good for employee productivity, and it's good for the Federal government. Let's put telework into drive.
Danette Campbell
Telework Manager
United States Patent and Trademark Office
My name is Danette Campbell and I serve as the Telework Manager at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Employees of the Patent and Trademark Office have been teleworking for almost 10 years. During that time, we have seen the positive impact that telework has on employees as they reduce their commuting time and costs, and spend more time with their families. Telework also benefits us as an organization. It helps us recruit and retain a highly skilled workforce and lets us plan for increases in staff without having to expand our office space. Telework is proving to be a good business model for the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
