DFAS HEADQUARTERS, April 19, 2021 — Just over a year ago, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service moved its operations to a widespread and sustained telework environment in response to COVID-19 conditions.
The decision on March 17, 2020, to authorize liberal telework across the agency was months in the making as senior leadership used its existing Disaster Management Group (DMG) to work closely with DoD Leadership and monitor emerging conditions globally and nationally.
"The number one consideration was how we keep the workforce safe," said DFAS Principal Deputy Director Jonathan Witter, "and then, how do we continue to support the mission and support our customers?"
