REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Work from Home

It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. Are you in an industry that would allow you to work from home? What are some obstacles you might find yourself facing while working from home?

Phoebe Krueger 10/21/2019 9:03 AM

I am lucky to be able to telecommute and it is great for the environment! An obstacle is finding ways to use technology to still feel included in team meetings and events.
