Average work week hours have steadily increased over recent years. Employees are moving further away from their work sites in order to fulfill and afford the "American Dream." Further distances increase commute time and make it harder for employees to balance their work and personal lives.
Telework programs give employees the opportunity to better balance work and personal priorities. Employers also benefit by offering a program that has the potential to increase morale and retention, which consequently boosts the bottom line. Previous po
stings have featured the increasing attention on telework and its beneficial effects on employee morale (See "Telework- the new summer trend" and "State of the Commute 2007 #2: Telework 'Rising Drastically' in D.C. Area").
On Tuesday, August 28, Arlington Transportation Partners invites you to attend a FREE seminar with breakfast to learn more about how a telework program can provide business continuity and also benefit employees. The seminar will be from 8:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. at 1100 North Glebe Road, Suite 1500 in Arlington. Jennifer Alcott, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation's Telework Programs Manager, will present on telework's benefits and the implementation process.
Additionally, a panel of employers that have or are in the process of implementing a telework program will present.
