Abstract:

In October of 2003, the U.S. Census Bureau implemented a Telework Program that allows employees to work up to two days per pay period from home or a telecenter. This program has the potential to increase both job satisfaction and employee productivity. After the one-year mark, the U.S. Census Bureau can begin to gauge the overall effect of the Telework Program on employee performance, productivity, and morale in addition to identifying problems with its implementation. This evaluation will examine survey data collected from teleworking and nonteleworking managers and employees. Surveys were administered near the start of the program and after nearly one year of its onset to gather preimplementation and postimplementation measures. he overall effect of the Telework Program will be indicated by assessing changes in these measures. The evaluation also will assess costs associated with the Telework Program in addition to data collected from focus groups with teleworking and nonteleworking managers and employees.
