Radio Podcast: Cindy Auten of Telework Exchange

Cindy Auten serves as general manager for Telework Exchange (www.teleworkexchange.com), an online community and public-private partnership focused on promoting telework in the government.  The organization provides a forum for government employees interested in telework, those who currently telework, assigned coordinators, government managers, information technology professionals, and telework proponents to dialogue on the subject matter.

Since the company’s inception in April 2005, Auten has managed the overall operations of Telework Exchange, including the development of The Teleworker – an online and print newsletter focused on telework, the bi-annual Telework Exchange Town Hall Meetings, Webcasts, annual Tele-Vision Awards programs, as well as the author of numerous telework-related research studies.

Auten is a frequent speaker and subject matter expert on telework.  Auten recently spoke at the Southeastern Association of Tax Administrators Conference, The Association for Federal Information Resources Management (AFFIRM) luncheon, the Department of Homeland Security Telework Forum, and various Telework Exchange events.  Auten is also featured discussing telework on Federal News Radio, WTOP, and NBC4 News as well as a number of other broadcast, IT, and government media outlets.  Discussion topics include the status of telework in the Federal government, public-sector telework best practices, telework eligibility, managing a remote workforce, a review of Capitol Hill initiatives, and available telework resources for managers and teleworkers.
