Improving Productivity Through Telecommuting

In an effort to respond to the problems of cumbersome and costly
commuting of employees to their primary worksites due to traffic
congestion and other factors, the Seattle Federal Executive Board's
(FEB) Information Resource Management Committee joined with the General
Services Administration's Cooperative Administrative Support Unit to
establish telecommuting centers in the Seattle area.  The FEB surveyed
federal agencies around Seattle to develop a directory of alternative
worksites.  Use of these facilities is limited to no-cost,
not-to-interfere basis with the host facility -- the host facility
retains full control and authority over the availability, scheduling,
and use of its office space.  FEB member agencies has established
agreements with employees to use the alternate worksites in the
following ways: (1) 1-3 days per week on a regular basis; (2) on an
ad-hoc basis to support specific projects; and (3) on an emergency basis
when the primary worksite becomes unavailable or unreachable by
employees.
