In 2001, state agencies were first encouraged to establish frameworks supporting telework. As the Commonwealth looks to the future, it is anticipated that telework will continue to play a role in workforce strategy and management for the flexibility and benefits that it can provide in meeting state government needs. The following resources are available to help your agency succeed in supporting a successful teleworking plan.
