- Tinker Air Force Base
Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center at Tinker Air Force Base, who is responsible for keeping large military bombers and transports at peak operating condition, deployed a wireless mobility solution to assist with the tracking of maintenance forms so technicians can record, update, and access critical information at the point-of-maintenance. The Tinker Air Force Base offers a successful wireless deployment that can be used as a best practice model and repurposed, considering wireless solutions benefit teleworkers and the environments in which they work.

industry solutions, technology - Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA): TIGTA’s Telecommuting Program
Recipient of the 2006 Telework Exchange "Excellence in Telework Leadership" Tele-Vision Award
TIGTA’s telework program grew out of a task group that had been formed to make TIGTA a better place to work and to position the agency as an employer- of-choice. Every time the task group met, its members talked about wanting the flexibility to work from anywhere. "Telework just seemed to fit the bill," recalls Donna Leach, Human Resources Specialist & Telework Program Manager. The task group talked with the inspector general (IG - the head of the agency) and proposed a pilot program. TIGTA itself was formed January 1999. The agency implemented its telework pilot in September 2000. The pilot was supposed to last nine to 12 months, but after six months the agency cut it short and made plans to move ahead. Program implementation began in August 2001.

Recipient of the 2009 Telework Exchange "Best New Initative" Tele-Vision Award The U.S. Navy’s Virtual Command Pilot Program allows for selected active duty Navy Officers and senior enlisted personnel to be assigned to shore duty commands in locations like Washington, D.C. while remaining in their current geographic location. Using existing technology available through the Navy and Marine Corps Intranet, these individuals work remotely for their new command through telework. This cutting edge concept improves the quality of life for military members and their families while reducing the costs of permanent change of station transfers. The program provides a virtual command relationship between the parent command in one geographic location and the service member located, in another. Telework is the foundation of this program, as participants work from their homes or alternate sites, and access the Navy’s Intranet by use of the Broadband Remote Access System. Thus far, the program has allowed geographic stability and increased transportation savings for service members and their families.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) uses a Telework Management System (TMS) as an automated tracking system. The system provides detailed information about teleworkers, including grade level and occupation, location, frequency and type of telework, and whether the work is ad hoc or regular basis. USDA’s IT department is notified of employee telework approvals and arrangements by e-mail to streamline the equipment planning and support needs. Since the program’s inception, three USDA agencies have deployed the system, and as of 2007, there were 225 teleworkers in the system with 400 more on the way. The TMS is a system that could be easily employed by other Federal agencies.

Recipient of the 2010 Telework Exchange "Innovative Application of Technology to Support Telework" Tele-Vision Award The Enterprise Remote Access (ERA) Portal was designed to extend telework as a versatile and economically-viable option by providing access to employee desktops and files through user-furnished equipment. Each portal user receives comprehensive pre-telework training and a USPTO-supplied secure ID token for sanctioned network access. The ERA Portal delivers an alternate solution to agency business units seeking to deploy safe, secure, and low to no-cost telework access for eligible employees. Previously, USPTO telework programs required government-furnished equipment (GFE) at an average cost of $2,800 per user. By contrast, the ERA Portal approach allows USPTO operating units to deploy teleworkers with user-furnished equipment for as little as $105 per user. Since the ERA Portal launch in early 2009, more than 350 USPTO staff members have been trained and deployed to telework, an option not previously available to these employees. A key component of the program’s success to-date is the mandatory training for each user with a focus on telework best practices, common questions, and essentials for secure remote operations – to prepare employees to work from home within the agency’s operating guidelines. It has been a successful solution for agency teleworkers and another means for the agency to meet its mission and business goals.

Recipient of the 2009 Telework Exchange "Best Use of Innovation and Technology to Support Telework" Tele-Vision Award The Office of General Law (OGL) Telework Program is one of the only telework programs for a Federal government general counsel’s office. The goal of the OGL Telework Program is to attract and retain highly-skilled employees by providing work-life balance while advancing operational goals in productivity, responsiveness, efficiency, and space planning. Following a telework pilot, completed in 2007, the OGL Telework Program was fully implemented and expanded in 2008 to include 100-percent participation by eligible employees. The program improved employee retention and recruiting efforts as well as assisted OGL in managing office-space shortages.

Recipient of the 2007 Telework Exchange "Best New Telework Initiative" Tele-Vision Award The Patents Hoteling Program (PHP) is the primary telework program for USPTO’s Patent Examiners. Started in January 2006, the PHP now includes 910 participating examiners who work from home four days per week and share reserved office space one day a week on the agency’s Alexandria, Virginia campus. Major PHP components include remote online access to required USPTO patent business systems, job performance tools, patent information, and patent application documentation. Examiners working from home also have access to collaborative communication technologies which enable collaboration among colleagues and supervisors. USPTO plans to have 3,000 Patent Examiners working from home, at least four days per week, by 2011.
