Recently, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) released its report, Working Remotely: A Guide for the Public Sector.  The guide is intended to provide best practices for state and local governments related to employees working remotely during and after COVID-19.  Due to the pandemic, many state and local governments are working to navigate a remote work environment for employees. 

The rapid changes to remote work have presented various challenges to public sector operations and technology requirements.  The guide provides checklists for governments to consider to help manage operations and technology as well as to support remote employees, including: 1) operating policies and procedures; 2) technology policies and procedures; 3) issuing devices for employees; and 4) maintaining processes after employees and equipment are deployed for remote work.

The guide is available here.
