A recent NPR story on how one Minnesota Government agency made a radical switch to a ROWE work environment. Similar discussions have surfaced in our GCDF trainings, especially in light of generational work styles/differences. Could this work in your office?

Big Sandy Visits

Today we traveled to Pikeville and visited with Jim and April. So nice to finally see their workspace. Then we were on to Prestonsburg where we visited Valerie, Sandy G., Sandy C., Anita, Zeth, Brian, and Reva. We applaud the wonderful work you are doing with so many dislocated workers. You are certainly utilizing your GCDF training during these challenging economic times.

On the Road Again...
