Telework Advocacy is empowering telework in 2010 Our Vision: To lead in all areas of discussion, implementation and development of telework solutions.  Through strategic partnerships with advocates just like you, we can make this vision a reality.
Status of Telework In Federal Government In February 2009, seventy-eight executive branch agencies submitted data on their telework programs to the Office of Personnel Management.  These data represent telework participation and related activities between January 1 and December 31, 2008.
Telework Trendlines   When gasoline prices shot past $3 in mid-2008 on their way to $4 per gallon or more in some areas, both employers and employees began looking for relief.  Alternatives immediately were explored and implemented.  Transit subsidies, carpooling, vanpooling and, of course, telecommuting quickly rose to the surface because of their relative ease of implementation.
