Same Job, New Space? Flexiplace NIH Telecommuters Put More Miles Into Work, Spend Fewer on the Road By Carla Garnett
Favorable Forecast for 1998 By Carla Garnett
Although attendees may not have found many items on the agenda "as gripping as
the latest novel," said NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus in opening remarks at the
Dec. 4 session of the advisory committee to the director (ACD), the issues that
were covered "are of tremendous importance to the future of the NIH." | |||
Cheryl Moxley, a telecommunications specialist in NIH's Office of Research
Services, used to travel about 56 miles to work every day from her home in
Harper's Ferry, W.Va. That's 112 miles round trip -- no small journey, she's quick
to point out. The commute made her work days longer and more hectic and made
her life in general much more stressful. So, last spring she decided to try an
alternative work place arrangement. She's been singing the praises of doing her
job at a flexiplace ever since.
