"Late 20th-century technology revolutionized the workplace, and the 21st-century workplace is evolving even further. Computers, remote connectivity, voice and electronic communications, paperless work processes, and other innovations make information and work increasingly mobile. Such innovations help the Federal Government, as the Nation's largest employer, serve the needs of the American public more efficiently and effectively. Federal employees have used mobile work technology for a long time. In recent years, telework has become increasingly widespread and formalized, with legislative mandates as well as new programmatic and policy supports and structures. [...] This guide is intended to help Federal managers and employees understand how to make telework a routine part of doing business, as well as how to integrate telework into emergency planning."
