4 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?
4 DFAS HEADQUARTERS, April 19, 2021 – As we take a deeper, more introspective look into the year of COVID-19, we continue to acknowledge the resiliency of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and its employees.
Tony Hullinger, Strategy and Support deputy director, ended part 1 of this series by stating, DFAS never missed a beat as we seamlessly transitioned to a virtual environment, remained resilient in supporting the mission to our customers despite a myriad of changes and requests that came our way, and always ensured the safety, security, and well-being of our workforce the whole way.
After watching the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on local communities where DFAS sites were located, DFAS leadership decided in March 2020 to shift a majority of the 11,500 DFAS employees to a full time telework environment.
