Our Programs: The Workplace ConnectionThe Workplace Connection is a volunteer business outreach program designed by Eastern Panhandle Clean Air Connection to encourage participation in the Air Quality Action Days network and promote alternate commute options within organizations in the Eastern Panhandle business community. By becoming a member of The Workplace Connection, you will join a growing network of organizations in our area who have positioned themselves as leaders in employee benefits and environmental programs.  Everyone can contribute
to cleaning the air in the Eastern Panhandle. Are you ready
to help? Sign up to receive an air quality alert notification.
How to Join: Joining The Workplace Connection is easy and it is free. First have senior management adopt the program, ensuring they fully understand and support its purpose and goals. Your Eastern Panhandle Clean Air Connection Program Coordinator is happy to help you present the program to your organization's management team. Secondly, designate an employee who has regular contact with your staff to act as the Air Quality Action Days coordinator for your organization. An administrative assistant, human resources manager, or transportation coordinator are all excellent candidates to take on this role. Finally, have your coordinator share news and information with your staff about Air Quality Action Days. When an Air Quality Action Day is forecast, coordinators are notified via fax or e-mail by 4:00 p.m. the previous day. They are asked to share these alerts with their co-workers along with suggestions for individual voluntary actions everyone can take to reduce ground-level ozone and their exposure to it. On average, coordinators devote only 20-45 minutes per Air Quality Action Day to the program, making it easy to integrate into a daily work agenda. Join Now!
