Best Practices

Supervisors should consult with DASA Human Resources before approving new remote work arrangements.

Keep in mind that an employee’s duties and responsibilities should not substantially change due to a flexible work arrangement.

Employees who are utilizing flexible work arrangements should make sure they communicate effectively through their email signature and voicemail message. Resources for remote work meetings and email are available.
