By telecommuting
or compressing your work schedule, you may be able to spend more
time at home or enjoying other activities!
|
Telecommuting means that you work from
home one or more days per week. Certain job types are
better suited for telecommuting than others. To
telecommute, you also have to be a self-starter, have the
appropriate equipment at your home and have management's
trust and support. |
|
The New North Transportation
Alliance can help you determine if your
job characteristics and personal qualities are such that telecommuting might be an option. We can also make
suggestions of ways to approach managers about
telecommuting. |

You can make a
difference in the environment!
|
By utilizing a commute option other than
driving alone, you are effectively taking a vehicle off the
road. This means less pollution from auto emissions as
well as reduced fuel consumption. |
