Good morning,
It is halfway through July which is a good time for me to remind supervisors to process your workers’ DHHS Telework Approval Forms. The deadline to finish this work is two weeks from today.
So far, 2,620 forms have been submitted with 1,821 approved: we have 25 percent left for review. Supervisors may also be working on adjustments to telework to balance space, office coverage, etc. As such, workers may be asked resubmit forms to get them approved.
We’ll provide an update in early August on what the “new normal” will look like for our workers in September as the permanent telework policy takes hold.
It is an exciting time for the Department as we move to this policy that balances the benefits of both in-office and at-home work environments.
Thanks, Jeanne
