![]() Currently, 25 percent of the unit’s employees are regular teleworkers. One of the most innovative implementations of flexibility is found within the Recruit Training Command at Great Lakes, Illinois. Due to the fact that recruits need ample access to sergeants during their early training stages, drill sergeants work 15 hour days, seven days a week for the first ten months of their three-year tour. Once this period is completed, sergeants are then moved to significantly less stressful positions for a year, such as office assistants, inspectors, or medical/dental offices. This allows sergeants to relax, refresh, and re-enter their drill positions with no loss in pay or benefits. Other Navy award winners include Naval Submarine Support Command, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Patrol Squadron Five, Jacksonville, Florida Executive Transport Detachment, Sigonella, Sicily the Navy Unit at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California Center for Seabees and Facilities Engineering, Port Huememe, California Naval Aviation Forecast Detachment, Sembach, Germany and Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron Two, Whidbey Island, Washington. "As this group of winners illustrates, workplace flexibility can come in a variety of forms, and can be supported in many environments, including operational ones," said Steffanie Easter, assistant deputy chief of naval operations for manpower, personnel, training, and education. We're committed to making the Navy a great place to work and fostering a culture that is personally and professionally rewarding." "These life-work integration measures are truly a result of the innovative spirit within our Navy. The work-life integration measures demonstrated by these commands complement a variety of initiatives that have been employed Navy-wide, including ten days of paternity leave for new fathers, a one-year deferment of sea duty for new mothers, and a career intermission pilot program that allows service members to take a sabbatical for up to three years to pursue personal or professional goals. #NAVY CAREER INTERMISSION PROGRAM PROFESSIONAL# ![]() ![]()
