Carper Chairman The Honorable Tom Coburn Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate The Honorable Darrell Issa Chairman The Honorable Elijah E. Cummings Ranking Member Committee on Oversight and Government Reform House of Representatives Subject: Federal Telework: Office of Personnel Management's 2012 Telework Report Shows Opportunities for Improvement The Telework Enhancement Act of 20101 requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to submit an annual report to Congress addressing the telework program of each executive agency. The act also required us to review OPM's first report and submit a report to Congress on the progress each executive agency has made towards the goals established under the act.2 We fulfilled the mandate with a briefing to staff from both committees on our preliminary findings during the first week of May 2013. This report transmits the final briefing slides and includes recommendations we are making to the Acting Director of OPM. See enclosure I for the briefing slides. We assessed the extent to which OPM's 2012 Status of Telework in the Federal Government: Report to the Congress reported and assessed progress of federal executive agencies' telework participation and outcomes, including societal impacts and cost savings. Separately, we also gathered additional information regarding challenges smaller agencies may have encountered in implementing telework programs. 1Pub. L. No. 111-292, 124 Stat. 3165 (Dec. 9, 2010), codified primarily at chapter 65 of title 5, United States Code. 2The original date for the GAO mandate was January 3, 2013. Congressional staff agreed to postpone this and we agreed a briefing in May 2013 would suit their needs followed by issuing this report. GAO-1 3-298R OPM Telework Report Page 1
