Trump should announce that rules regarding remote work for federal employees will start changing on January 21, right after he takes office. This change aligns with a broader trend in America, where most sectors have mostly abandoned remote work for a variety of reasons, suggesting that the federal workforce should also adapt accordingly. As the country navigates a post-COVID landscape, the reinstatement of in-person work in federal agencies may lead to a more efficient government.
Despite the ongoing eligibility for remote work among federal employees, the Office of Management and Budget reports that a significant portion of these workers still operate under remote conditions years after the initial COVID crisis. Currently, 1.1 million federal employees are eligible to work from home, with 228,000 working fully remote. This statistic indicates a fundamental disconnect between the needs of the workforce and the realities of an evolving work environment, prompting the necessity of addressing remote work policies swiftly.
