In a concerted effort to address the dynamics of federal employment, several key initiatives have emerged in Congress aimed at reshaping the telework policies and overall structure of the federal workforce. Senator Ernst has spearheaded a series of bills designed to limit telework, enhance federal accountability, and encourage workers to return to the office. The House Oversight Committee is set to hold hearings focusing on government telework practices, with Chairman Comer emphasizing the need for a thorough review of the stay-at-home workforce. Additionally, discussions are intensifying around legislation that tracks computer usage of agency teleworkers and potential relocations of executive agency employees. This movement aligns with broader Republican goals to reduce the size and expenses of the federal workforce, with vocal criticisms directed at the current administration for its stance on telework protections.
