Houston Public Works began the Phase 4 Rollout of the Hybrid-Telework Program on Monday, November 6, 2023. After this initial rollout, HPW supervisors and employees experienced technical issues, which impacted TMS registrations for Hybrid-Telework trainings. HR and external TMS partners worked diligently to resolve these issues. If you are continuing to experience issues, please contact one of the Department Telework Coordinators identified below:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW FOR HPW SUPERVISORS AND EMPLOYEES
- It is REQUIRED that employees/supervisors COMPLETE the appropriate eLearning Hybrid Training prior to REGISTERING to attend in-person class.
- Employees, without direct reports, are required to successfully complete the Hybrid Telework Employee eLearning Module prior to registering for the 8 hour (1 day) in-person course entitled Collaborating in a Hybrid Telework Environment for Employees.
- Managers/Supervisors are required to successfully complete the Hybrid Telework Supervisor eLearning Module prior to registering for the 12 hour (1.5 day) in-person course entitled Leading a Hybrid Telework Team for Supervisors.

To use the training links on the Process Roadmap, please be sure to FIRST log into TMS on your Google Chrome browser. Functions may not work if you use the Microsoft Edge browser.
- REMEMBER: Employees and Supervisors MUST take their designated e-learning and classroom training (they will NOT receive credit if they register and attend the wrong session – except as noted above).
