The federal government is pushing to ramp up teleworking for its workers amid growing frustration from employees across a number of agencies who say the govt. is not being aggressive enough to protect them and limit the possibility of coronavirus infection
The Office of Management and Budget issued new guidance to federal agencies on Friday saying they were"encouraged to maximize telework flexibilities" for at-risk workers as well as those living in areas where there has been community spread of coronavirus.The OMB guidance came as President Donald Trump on Friday declared a national emergency, freeing up billions of dollars and elevating the role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.
"There is sensitivity, especially, to showing that while the military is protecting the health of the force, national security is not suffering," the official said.A second official said health was the No. 1 priority, but the military also wants to show that"standard operations," are being maintained.Some agencies have taken steps toward widespread telework programs.
