BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
A PROCLAMATION
GEORGIA TELEWORK WEEK
WHEREAS:
Teleworking can have an immediate impact on our environment, air quality, and commuter mobility, while reducing vehicle emissions and strain on existing infrastructure; and
WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS:
The projected average annual impact of one person telecommuting in Georgia is 2,000 fewer miles driven, more than 50 hours of commute time saved, and a reduction of smog in the air we breathe; and
Formal telework programs play a key role in business continuity, allowing business to continue should an unforeseen event occur. Georgia businesses can save money as a result of lower facility and energy costs, more productivity from their workforces, reduced absenteeism, and increased recruitment and retention; and
The potential for growth of teleworking in Georgia is tremendous. On average, teleworkers report better work and life balance as well as higher job satisfaction rates than other employees; and
WHEREAS:
Georgia Commute Options assist Georgia employers in starting or expanding telework programs; now
THEREFORE:
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim March 7-11, 2016, as TELEWORK WEEK in Georgia and call this observance to the attention of our citizens.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 28th day of January in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen.
