Planned changes to Interior’s Telework and Remote Work Posture

Earlier this year, the public health emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic ended, and the Administration announced efforts to increase meaningful in-person engagement. Under guidance from the Office of Management and Budget, the Department is now taking steps to execute this Government-wide effort by implementing changes to the application of our telework and remote work policies as outlined below. Implementing these changes keeps us in the strongest possible position to recruit and retain talent, to maintain a positive and inclusive work environment for all employees, and to continue to deliver excellent results for our stakeholders, partners, and the American people.
