Report 2006-007- AMR - OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL FREQUENT TELEWORK PILOT PROGRAM

During the past two years, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) explored the use of frequent telework through the lens of a Frequent Telework Pilot program (Pilot). Our Pilot required those OIG employees whose jobs were deemed suitable for inclusion in the Pilot, to work away from the central office two or more days a week. The primary objectives of our Pilot were twofold: 1) to determine if productivity could be maintained while frequently teleworking; and 2) to determine if OIG could reduce its infrastructure costs through extensive use of frequent telework.
