Alternative Work Arrangements
The Downtown TMA helps out employers by helping
them to explore the possibilities of
alternative work arrangments.
Consultations
are available to implement flex-time,
compressed work week, and teleworking at your
work site.
Flex-time allows individuals some flexibility in choosing the time, but not the number of their working hours. Flex-time reduces stress by avoiding peak traffic times, reduces traffic congestion and helps improve the region’s air quality by shorter commute times.
A compressed work week is a scheduling of work hours that has employees working longer hours each day, balanced by having employees working fewer days each week. Compressed work week also reduces peak period driving, reduces commuting time and costs, and improves our air quality be reducing the number of vehicles commuting to work.
Teleworking
allows employees to work at home, or at a
satellite work center near home. Teleworking
reduces traffic congestion and can improve our
air quality. Employers also benefit from
offering alternative work arrangements at their
worksite.
If your company does not have
an alternative work arrangement in place but
would like some more information The Downtown
Transportation Management Association is happy
to come in and meet with individual employers.
