Work Away is a statewide initiative that encourages telework and work scheduling options for eligible employees. Work Away offers employees a more productive working environment with fewer distractions. Both telework and scheduling options have been shown to result in better job performance, improved job satisfaction and employee morale, and a reduction in absenteeism and sick leave usage. Work Away options also help retain valued employees and recruit top quality people while "Improving the Quality of Life for All Georgians."
State Personnel Administration is pleased to announce a partnership with Clean Air Campaign to administer the State of Georgia Employees Work Away program.
The Clean Air Campaign (CAC) is a non-profit organization that works with Georgia employers, commuters and schools to encourage actions that result in less traffic congestion and better air quality. To accomplish these goals, The Clean Air Campaign has worked with more than 250 employers in the state with designing and implementing commute options programs; offer targeted incentives and special resources to commuters and employers; and work with schools to protect children from harmful air pollution.
