Another Speak Out Response

Just the other day, I received a Speak Out from an anonymous staff person asking about FCC’s WFH policy. Specifically, they had concerns about why certain positions within the organization would ever be allowed to work from home. I appreciate the question! What I can tell you is this – our Work From Home (WFH) policy can be found in the procedure manual, specifically, HR 480. WFH is and should be an exception to FCC’s normal work practice. You will note that both Immediate Supervisors and a Department Director signs off on these requests. I trust the Supervisors/Coordinators/Directors are managing these requests. Having said that, your question gives us all the opportunity to pause, reflect and be reminded of the WFH procedure and the intent of the procedure. Thanks again for taking the time to share your concern.
