A directive on "Forms of Mobile Work Arrangements in the Federal Government", which came into effect on 1 January 2020, states that staff may work during a journey if the duration and means of transport are compatible with the task to be performed. The employees concerned will thus be able to request that their commuting time be counted as working time. This decision is in response to a joint request from the four trade unions.

Aware of management's role in preventing psychosocial risks, the government's HR department is setting up dedicated training courses. Negotiated as part of the most recent collective agreements (OK 18), these courses aim at boosting managers' knowledge and providing them with concrete tools to prevent and manage difficult situations that their employees may experience in their professional environment.

Under the terms of a recent executive order, every collective bargaining agreement – some 800 currently – between US Federal agencies and unions will be put in a database and put online in the near future. The aim of this decision is to make available to the general public not only the signed agreements, but also all of the elements from the negotiations (position of each stakeholder).
