Reston, VA employer Tandberg is supporting Statewide Telework Day by encouraging its employees to use video conferencing to work from home today. From just half of our staff (75) teleworking, we are eliminating almost two metric tons of carbon emissions and saving almost 100 hours of productivity by not sitting in traffic.
