How the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Sustainability Plan Enables the Future of Work

This IDC Perspective highlights Executive Order 14008: Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad and presents an agency example from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS is adjusting space and policies to enable work from new contexts and locations, including remote work. This approach will allow HHS to rethink the amount and types of space required to meet normal and crisis situations going forward."Federal agencies are developing climate resilience plans that are comprehensive in nature," says Adelaide O'Brien, research director, IDC Government Insights. "The HHS example provides benefits that not only address sustainability but also align with agility, frictionless engagement, better citizen services, and equity in recruiting and hiring employees."
