Take the Telework Pledge

Still don’t have a telework program for employees? There’s no time like the present to get started, particularly with Telework Week 2013 taking place from Monday, March 4 through Friday, March 8. Not only is this workplace strategy environmentally friendly, but it also can boost productivity and morale and help reduce commuting costs. Consider: last year, more than 71,000 individuals pledged to telework, saving $5,651,890 on commuting costs, gaining back 251,774 hours into their day, and removing 3,453 tons of pollutants from the air, while refraining from driving 6,413,006 miles. Impressed? Mobile Work Exchange, formerly Telework Exchange, offers a ton of ideas, tools and helpful resources to help organizations get started. In addition, goDCgo, a District Department of Transportation initiative, provides case studies, sample policies and other information through its complimentary Employer Services program—simply e-mail info@goDCgo.com.
