Employee Roadmap

Workplace flexibilities (WPF) allow federal employees to work outside of a normal office environment and set reasonable unconventional schedules to meet the challenges of evolving workplace norms.

On March 22, 2022, HHS released the Workplace Flexibilities Policy which includes guidance on TeleworkRemote Work, and Alternative Work Schedules (AWS). Use of these flexibilities requires supervisory approval and a signed Workplace Flexibilities Agreement (WFA), as well as completion of WPF training.

This self-help Employee Roadmap is a tool that provides situation-based guidance to help employees modify existing, or engage in new, workplace flexibilities.
