The GSA (General Services Administration) has announced plans to de-fund and close nearly half of the telework centers it has established for employees in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. LifeSize conducted a survey of federal government IT professionals to learn more about their opinions of telework centers as a solution for teleworking in the federal government. The survey was sent via e-mail in three separate iterations to federal government IT professionals with job titles ranging from Information Technology Manager to Chief Information Officer to Chief Technology Officer.
Findings from the survey indicate that telework centers may not be needed at all. For example, 41.8% felt telework centers offered no advantage at all, and only 13% said they might use a telework center one day per week.
