BMC Offers Free Webinar on Telework

March 5, 2010 (Baltimore, MD) -- During these difficult economic times, employers are looking for ways to reduce costs, motivate employees, and avoid lay-offs or reduced hours. Implementing a structured telework program is one method that organizations can use to achieve these goals.

The Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) is offering a FREE webinar, "Benefiting from Telework in a Down Economy," on Wednesday, March 17 from 11 a.m. until 12 noon. The webinar presents materials and advice for starting a successful telework program.

In addition to benefits that your business can experience in any economic environment, telework can be used during a down economy to:

• Realize increased productivity from employees.
• Keep employee satisfaction and the retention of valued employees high.
• Reduce overhead costs.
• Create a competitive advantage for the hiring of valued employees when the economy turns around.

BMC and the Maryland Department of Transportation have contracted with the Telecommuting Advantage Group to work with a select number of businesses in the Baltimore region to reduce traffic and air pollution while realizing the benefits of a formal telework program. There is no cost to participating businesses.

For more details or to RSVP, contact Russ Ulrich, rulrich@baltometro.org. You can also register for the webinar at www.TeleWorkBaltimore.com.

The webinar is absolutely free, and there is no obligation. BMC will not share registration information with anyone other than the consultant.
