The USDA is firmly
committed to enhancing
the quality of work/life
for our personnel
by forging a more
dynamic and complimentary
link between their
home life and their
work life. Family-friendly
workplace programs
are an integral
part of Department's
efforts to remain
a competitive employer
of choice in the
21st century. These
programs are an
essential ingredient
in our quest to
retain and attract
our best and brightest
personnel.
On July 11, 1994,
the President of
the United States
directed the head
of each executive
department or agency
to establish a program
to encourage and
support the expansion
of flexible family-friendly
work arrangements,
including: job sharing;
career part-time
employment; alternative
work schedules;
telecommuting and
satellite work locations.
