Telework Day!
The Telework Exchange has declared August 3 Telework Day. In practice, I think such declarations can be a little goofy. There are simply too many days dedicated to too many things for any single one of them to stand out in public awareness. But this one has a little something extra: Virgina Gov. Tim Kaine signed up, and so some state employees are participating, and the state, the Telework Exchange, and Telework!VA will release an after-action report on the experience. That strikes me as more useful. It's an observance that generates both data, and provides an experience for managers and employees who might not have had it otherwise. It goes beyond an attempt to draw public attention to create a case for action in the future.
