NAAUSA Letter to DOJ Leadership on Telework July 2023
Re: DOJ Telework Policy
Dear Attorney General Garland, Deputy Attorney General Monaco, and Acting Director Wong:
As the Department of Justice crafts its new policy for substantially increasing in-person work pursuant to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s April 13, 2023, memorandum M-23-15, Measuring, Monitoring, and Improving Organizational Health and Organizational Performance in the Context of Evolving Agency Work Environments, the National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys (NAAUSA) is concerned that a reduction in telework flexibility will negatively impact the productivity, recruitment, and retention of Assistant U.S. Attorneys (AUSAs). We urge the Department to conduct robust stakeholder engagement prior to finalizing any policy on telework flexibility and open the policy up to public comment to ensure it truly serves the mission of the Department and needs of the workforce.
