Telework Under the Microscope: A Report on the National Science Foundation's Telework Program is based on an agency-wide survey conducted by NSF in September 2007. The results are based on responses from 1,200 NSF agency employees. The study shows that telework is a win-win-win for managers, employees, and the environment. Among top-level findings, the study reveals that the majority of agency employees telework, and that 87 percent hold a positive view of telework in the Federal Government. Importantly, the majority of managers who directly supervise teleworkers find those employees productivity increases or remains the same while teleworking. Other key study findings include that on average, by not commuting, each NSF teleworker reclaims 62 hours of their lives back and saves $1,201 a year. Extrapolating those savings across the agency, NSF teleworkers collectively spare the environment over one million pounds of emissions and save more than $700,000 in commuting costs per year.
