The second annual CDW-G Federal Telework Survey reveals new momentum in Federal telework, with 41 percent of responding Federal employees indicating that they currently telework - up from 19 percent at the same time last year. Validating the jump in participation, 43 percent of surveyed Federal teleworkers indicate that they have started teleworking in the last year.
The report also reveals that Federal IT professionals have significantly expanded technical support for telework initiatives over the past year. Thirty-two percent of surveyed Federal IT professionals indicate that their agency has started or expanded a telework program in the last year. Twenty-eight percent of the same respondents believe that their agency provides IT support to 100 percent of eligible teleworkers up from just 5 percent of respondents in 2005.
