Company Recognized by Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments as Regional Model of Excellence for Telework
Washington, DC, June 23, 2010: TCG, a leading government technology strategy and IT advisor, has been named by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and its Commuter Connections® program as the winner of its Telework category award under the 2010 Commuter Connections Employer Recognition Awards. TCG was presented with the award at the annual Commuter Connections award ceremony at the National Press Club this morning, where this video was shown to explain TCG’s telework program.
The Commuter Connections annual Employer Recognition Awards Ceremony recognizes employers in the Washington metropolitan area who have voluntarily initiated programs that facilitate the use of commuting alternatives such as telework, mass transit, carpooling, and bicycling to help ease traffic and reduce pollution.
“This provides validation of one of our core beliefs—that commuting is a bad deal for both employers and employees,” said TCG president Dan Turner. “I look forward to the day when there is no need to recognize employers who facilitate telecommuting, and when all employers realize their employees are more productive, happy, and profitable when they work from home.”
