Today the House of Representatives today voted in favor by 290-131, the approved H.R. 1722, the Telework Improvements Act. In summary the bill is:

To improve teleworking in executive agencies by developing a telework program
that allows employees to telework at least 20 percent of the hours
worked in every 2 administrative workweeks, and for other purposes.

Federal News Radio covered the news of the bill passing on the DorobekInsider earlier today.

At Navstar, we pride ourselves on being a Green IT services provider, including allowing our employees to telework when possible. With the advent of social media servicing Enterprise 2.0 solutions and methodology — work should be able to be done from any where at any time. And the House of Representatives appears to acknowledge this as a vital part of the advancement of our Federal Government employees being able to work from home if the supervisor approves.

Location being an independent factor now, this is where Navstar can come in and help Government agencies by training and establishing processes on how to work with the rest of your team or project. We offer services that help make telecommuting a real possibility with everything to virtual servers and software to VPN from a location outside of the office.
