ICF and making a case for telework
Michael Densley, Human Capital Solutions, ICF
Telework requires change initiative at all levels
“We like to address people’s challenges.”
OPM defines telework as work arrangements in which an employee regularly performs officially assigned duties at home or other work sites geographically convenient to the residence of the employee.
It is incorrect to use telework as a reward.
Identify a business case, and let that drive your telework plan
Fund it, measure it, publicize it.
What’s the compelling reason?
