I would like to introduce you to eWorkPlace, a new and exciting program available for Twin Cities metro employers. Are you ready to be an eWorkPlace Employer?
Set in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, eWorkPlace is a cooperative venture to not only reduce
traffic congestion and gridlock, but to assist employers to reach their bottom line more effectively. All types of employers are included (large or small, private, non-profit, and public) to offer the telework option of working remotely from the office at home or at another location. We are a unique collaborative of 11 partners (public, private and non-profit) dedicated to raise the level of telecommuting in the Twin Cities.
Now one might think the recession has a powerful effect on the amount of telework going on. But the tides have turned. Employers see the advantages of more flexible work in terms of increased productivity, greater employee satisfaction and being able to offer a carrot on the stick to those employees who may not have such high rates of compensation. In today's economy, every business is dealing with budget cuts, tight deadlines and staffing shortages. We're all expected to manage through these challenges while leading effective strategies and delivering outcomes
eWorkPlace assists Twin Cities employers to increase the use of telecommuting and flexible work schedules. The strategy of eWorkPlace is to move work to the employee rather than move the employee to work.
Employer requirements include definition of their expected level of commitment and reporting of results. Employers sign up and agree to a minimum number of telecommuters, either working during rush hours or at least 1 day per week. We launched ours initiative in June 2009 and due to employer need for pandemic planning, we are receiving continued interest.
Employers can enjoy many free services and tools from national telework experts for a limited time. Expert assistance includes consulting advice, e-training and remote access strategies from MTIE, WFC Resources, and Superior Endeavors, an IT group. Employers have a wide range of services to ensure telework programs are practical and successful. You can either start or refine your telework capacity. Information technology is an integral part of the office environment, especially as physical location is less important now than ever before. Technology is no longer a telework challenge, but rather has become an opportunity to increase productivity and morale while potentially reducing business costs.
