Registration Now Open for Telework Quick-Start Webinar on October 20

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, October 18, 2016

 

Metro's SafeTrack Surge 10 will have a major impact on the Red Line from October 29 to November 22.  Given the urgency of finding commuting solutions during SafeTrack, now is the time for employers to start a telework program to help continuity of operations during this rail safety project.

 

Join MCDOT Commuter Services on October 20 from 11 to 11:30 a.m. for an informative webinar explaining how to quickly begin a telework program.

 

Teleworking offers:

• One of the most effective ways to respond to the unique challenges presented by SafeTrack, the year-long effort to improve the safety and reliability of the Metrorail transit system.  

• An organizational strategy to address employee and management concerns, maintain or even improve productivity, and provide effective mobility solutions.

The webinar instructor, Elham Shirazi, has more than 30 years of experience in developing telework programs for the private, public and nonprofit sectors.

 

Participants will learn key implementation steps to:

• Develop a policy and basic procedures;

• Select the right employees and jobs for telework; and

• Adapt an organizational culture for employees who work remotely during SafeTrack, whether one day a week or full time.

 

Free expert consulting will be available to help employers get started.
