Posted by: In a recent survey of Washington-area executives about recruiting in the area, one hot-button issue was traffic. The majority of executives said that the traffic congestion literally gets in way of many employees working a full week, whether it’s because they are late to work, they work fewer hours, or they have to leave early to avoid congestion.
Since a large percentage of the area’s workforce treks to government jobs every day, perhaps the proposed Results-Only-Work Environment (ROWE) that is being pilot-tested by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will be a way to help government agencies in their recruitment efforts.
Efforts such as ROWE, which measure work performance vs. hours worked, and telecommuting, shorter work weeks during the summer work weeks and other initiatives are great opportunities for the federal government to step up its recruiting efforts, particularly in the National Capital Region where many of them spend a good portion of every workday bumper-to-bumper for hours every day.
Do you think ROWE will be successful for the OPM?
