Welcome to the eWorkPlace Blog!

Calling all employers and employees! We are happy to announce that Telework Twin Cities will be coming soon to a workplace near you…

What’s this, you say?

eWorkPlace is encouraging Twin Cities metro area commuters to register and make the pledge to telework for one or more days per week from April 11-24 just in time to celebrate Earth Day.

Already on board are Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak, Saint Paul mayor Chris Coleman, and Bloomington mayor Gene Winstead! The three mayors have already proclaimed April 2010 “Explore and Experience Telework” month!

In addition, we are pleased to provide access to free telework training as well as sample proposals to address with managers and learn about the “business case” for telework.

Telework Twin Cities benefits for the world:

• Help the environment

Telework Twin Cities benefits for you:

Now is your chance to get on board and make a difference!
