Welcome to a Brand New Workday Is it really necessary to commute to the office every day? Is flying and driving across the country and globe the only way to conduct a meeting? Is spending more on travel the best way to improve relationship building within our company, and with customers and partners? The fundamental value of face-to-face interaction has meant that until recently the answer to these questions had to be ‘yes’. Now, advances in high-quality yet low-cost personal video communications and collaboration technology have made it possible to conduct meetings without the need to travel there in person. The world is changing, and we need to move on from outdated habits of daily commuting and avoidable business travel. We can do this – saving money, time and carbon emissions – without sacrificing what we gain from face-to-face interactions. Avistar is launching Green Workday, a new campaign to reduce the world’s use and dependency on energy for business-related travel. Our objectives are for each individual and organization that’s a part of Green Workday to cut their personal carbon emissions by 20%, and to have 1% of the United States and European office worker population or 1.2 million people be a part of Green Workday by 2012.
