The Defense Department's abrupt and rocky shift to telework amid the coronavirus pandemic had an unexpected benefit: It did away with pointless meetings, office distractions and tiring commutes that sapped employees' and troops' productivity.
The Pentagon's inspector general said in a report released Thursday that 47% of respondents to a survey on teleworking practices reported that their productivity increased while working from home during the pandemic. Another 41% felt they were about as productive while teleworking as they were in the office, and nearly 12% felt their productivity slipped.
The transition to telework last March, as the COVID-19 pandemic began to erupt around the country, was vast -- and the Pentagon was not prepared.
