b'The Defense Department is sending a signal that it wants to build a workplace culture accepting of remote work and telework and it\\u2019s setting preconditions to make it happen.\\nDoD recently updated its telework policy for the first time since 2012. The policy is a permissive one and reflects lessons learned and knowledge gained during the pandemic about working remotely. The biggest change is that the document now addresses both remote work and telework.\\nThe new instruction is clear \\u2013 telework is a workplace flexibility and not an entitlement, and a remote work arrangement won\\u2019t be approved unless it meets all of the telework eligibility requirements. At the same time, it instructs the DoD components to \\u201cactively promote\\u201d telework and remote work, and to eliminate barriers to program execution through education and training.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
