Survey results released today suggest that governments could save money if the elected officials embraced telecommuting.
This article in Government Technology says that management resistance is the leading obstacle to telework (telecommuting) adoption. (Let me know when that link expires and I'll edit this post.)
Similar issues face local governments. Elected officials seek savings, like those that would be realized if fewer government employees needed offices, desks, parking spaces etc.
But they fear that the only way to get people to work is to have them physically present on-site so that they can be monitored.
Ironically, this stifles initiative and reduces productivity, as employees concentrate on looking busy instead of actually getting results.
