for some as questions about productivity or need for physical space in an organization arise. Remote work is not uncommon, according to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2019, about 26 million Americans or 16% of the workforce worked from home or remotely at least part of the time. Between 2005 and 2015 the number of employees teleworking in the United States increased by 115% (2). As previously discussed, telecommuting policies and workplace flexibility impact an individual's ability to work remotely. In March 2020, the United States faced uncertain challenges with the growing COVID-19 pandemic. Through Federal and state mandates many nonessential businesses were forced to close physical locations to the public. Hospitals, academic institutions, and non-essential businesses began to investigate the ability to allow employees deemed non-essential to work from home. In many cases, libraries and library staff at hospital, academic, and public libraries moved to a remote work environment, adapting flexibility practices for projects and work-life balance during a pandemic. While overall employment in the United States was impacted by physical closures, it was estimated that more than half of all employed adults were able to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research also suggests that teleworking during a time of crisis is not uncommon but lasting impacts are yet to be determined (3). According to research into workplace flexibility and telecommuting, under normal circumstances, telecommuting can increase job satisfaction, performance, and feelings of commitment to an organization. Telework may also reduce stress and exhaustion however the impacts of social isolation and missed opportunities for information sharing were cited as negative factors for employees who telework (4).
