Teleworking and remote policymaking with Esper

Esper helps tackle these challenges with our easy to use software. With Esper, remote policymaking simple, efficient, and effective:

• Tracking cascading federal, state, and local policy changes: Agencies are expected to monitor and respond to constantly changing federal, state, and local policies that impact them. For example, new Executive Orders or emergency legislation can significantly impact agencies and often impose tight turn around deadlines for new policies. Esper’s Discovery product provides agency staff with a live stream of the latest policy announcements that may impact them. This gives agencies more room to respond and ensures they don’t miss policies that apply to them.
• Keeping team members on the same page: Literally, with many documents floating around with new edits, policy suggestions, and notes in the margins– it’s difficult to figure out what the latest policy proposal is and who already signed off on it. This ambiguity causes delays, miscommunication, and inefficiency for policy teams. Esper automatically tracks and saves all of this information, giving you a single source of truth for all policy activity.
• Effective stakeholder collaboration: Policymaking requires many, many rounds of review and approval before the public ever lays eyes on a new policy. While these approvals may have been conducted in person in the past, getting sign off in a timely manner and in the right order becomes much more challenging as people work remotely. Esper helps you set approval workstreams and ensures policies are routed through appropriate levels of approval.
