Recommendations

Develop and maintain a long-term space reduction plan that includes annual space reductions the IRS expects to achieve, aligns with Department of the Treasury Workspace Management requirements, and sufficiently decreases unneeded office space by maximizing the space savings associated with current IRS practices in remote work, telework, and workstation sharing/hoteling.

Reevaluate existing planned reduction projects to ensure that they reflect current IRS telework policy.

The Chief, FMSS, should clarify the instructions for the GDI system walkthrough report to require an entry in key fields to document the results of the workstation information validation.
