The White House is demanding the heads of federal departments and agencies begin personally tracking efforts to get government workers to return to the office, warning that many managers are falling short of President Joe Biden’s goals for increasing in-person work.
“Some of your agencies are not where they need to be and have work ahead to meet your goals,” White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said in a memo obtained by Bloomberg.
