USAF Implementing a Telecommuting Program

By Michelle A Cunniff

Telecommuting is a management tool. Currently, both the civilian sector and the government sector offer telecommuting to its employees. There are certain advantages and disadvantages to both the employer and the employee in a telecommuting arrangement. As background, this paper will define telecommuting, detail the status of telecommuting within the United States Air Force (USAF), and review potential advantages and disadvantages to the USAF offering a telecommuting program to its active duty (AD) personnel. This thesis of this paper is to recommend that USAF organizational leadership implement a pilot telecommuting program. Further, this thesis challenges USAF leadership to contemplate the moral dimension when deciding to use telecommuting as a management tool. This thesis will assert that morality suggests that USAF leadership is obligated to offer telecommuting as an employment option to its professionals and in particular to certain AD personnel working in certain positions.
