Gang,
The Alliance of Innovation group is offering a webinar (you sit in front of your computer and watch/listen to a presentation) on Flexible work weeks.
It is being held from 10 until 11:30AM on Wednesday January 21st. Our City is a member of the Alliance and therefore we can listen in for free.
I have registered and will log in to listen to this session - let me know if anyone else wants to listen in - we could book a meeting room and watch it together.
Below is the summary they sent out to describe what will be shared;
Innovation in scheduling within the workplace is a next practice that local government has begun to explore and is having success with. During this 90 minute presentation you will hear from Rick Albiero, The Telecommuting Advantage Group. Mr. Albiero will provide you with an overview of alternative work options, highlight current trends, discuss outcomes and measures, share critical elements, and show you next steps when exploring alternative work options.
Also, you will hear from two leading local government organizations who have successfully implemented flexible workweek innovations. Diane O’Grady, Loudoun County, Virginia, will showcase Loudoun County’s award winning Telework Program. You will hear how Loudoun County’s program increased productivity, decreased traffic congestion and pollution, and leveraged their ability to retain workers. In addition, Gainesville, Florida recently implemented a four day work week. Becky Rountree, with the City of Gainesville, will discuss this transition, the challenges faced, as well as Gainesville’s success to date.

I attended the webinar and found it very informative. thank you to the city folks who coordinated it. As stated in the presentation; organizations move to teleworking for different reasons(budgetary, logistical, CO2 reduction) and establish different degrees of teleworking. I venture to guess that Carlsbad employees do telework (I do from time to time). However we have no formal program (definitions, guidelines etc.) If we are doing it, is there a need for a formal program?
p.s. for those interested I have a copy of the PowerPoint used for the presentation (thanks Aaron & Rob)
