The literature provides examples of the types of benefits, measures, and cost savings that organizations may consider and plan for when designing a telework program

• For employees, telework benefits may include greater flexibility in their schedules and reduced commuting time, but telework risks isolating employees from the team environment that an office may provide.
• For employers, benefits may include increased productivity from employees and higher job satisfaction, although telework may cause decreased team cohesion.
• The most-significant monetary costs for employers may result from providing computing equipment or other infrastructure to employees working remotely, but there may also be some cost savings from decreasing the square footage of office space.

Successful agency telework programs are compliant with federal and organizational policies, provide certain technological accommodations for employees who telework, and demonstrate return on investment

• Some of these lessons are the adaptation of performance management tools, network accommodations, and personnel training.
