If the office seems emptier than usual, don’t be concerned. Today is Telework Day!
Back on July 15, Gov. Tim Kaine announced that today would be a day when people could work from home in an effort to reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency.
"Telework is a family-friendly, business-friendly public policy that promotes workplace efficiency, reduces strain on transportation infrastructure, and provides an opportunity to ‘green’ Virginia," Kaine said in a press release.
"We encourage organizations and individuals in Virginia to take the Telework Day pledge and see how telework can help them improve productivity and business operations, while also benefiting the environment."
