Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) is calling on internal watchdogs at various agencies to investigate federal employees' use of telework. Hice, ranking member of the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, sent letters to inspectors general at 10 agencies asking them to review how increased telework during the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the federal government's productivity. The congressman requested "an assessment of the impact of telework on your agency's mission accomplishment, customer satisfaction and employee performance over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic," Hice said in a letter today to the Department of Energy inspector general. "As the Biden Administration moves forward with its return-to-work plans, this information is vital to understanding potential impacts on the level of service Americans can expect."
