The workplace flexibility storm has been brewing and we’re starting to hear some might loud thunderclaps…like these:
Two states are offering free telecommuting resources. Minnesota’s program is based on the ROWE (Results Only Work Environment). Connecticut’s program is outstanding, including what looks like a good deal of FREE consulting services.
Why are they doing this? Lots of reasons. Reduce traffic on state roads, reduce environmental impact, and prepare businesses for a pandemic or other large-scale disaster.
One Minnesota community even suggested that less commuting, meant more time for people to shop and eat locally.
Plus, if we’re thinking really big picture—imagine the impact on families and the long-term benefits that could have on today’s children. Less family stress, less educational distractions, less juvenile crime, better mental health.
While some services will be available only to businesses in these states, the sites offer a good deal of resources—for employers and employees alike.
