Telework Exchange is a public-private partnership focused on demonstrating the tangible value of telework and serving the emerging educational and communication requirements of the Federal teleworker community. The organization facilitates communication among Federal teleworkers, telework managers, and IT professionals.
On the Telework Exchange website, Stephen W. T. O'Keeffe, executive director of Telework Exchange, describes telework as a successful model for government operations and allows Federal employees to save both time and money.
According to a 2007 CDW-G Telework Report, 79% of Federal employees would telework if given the option. However, according to the Office of Personnel Management's 2006 Status of Telework in the Federal Government Report, almost 94% of eligible employees are not teleworking. The Telework Exchange aims to increase awareness and adoption of government telework programs and focuses on enabling telework for the next generation of government operations.
Government teleworkers can realize tremendous productivity benefits from Personal Conferencing products such as ClearOne's Chat 50 and Chat 150, which connect to a wide variety of devices and provide crystal-clear, hands-free audio communication. For this reason, ClearOne has focused on the Telework Exchange over the last year in order to further penetrate that important market. Members of the Telework Exchange Associates program include companies such as AT&T, Cisco, Avaya, Citrix, HP, Intel, NoCommute.org, Symantec, TANDBERG, and others.
Tim Droddy has over 20 years of sales and business development experience in the telecommunications industry. Prior to joining ClearOne, Mr. Droddy held significant positions with Avaya, Lucent Technologies, and AT&T.
"The Federal government is working hard to save energy and be more productive, and teleworking is a key part of that strategy," said Zee Hakimoglu, CEO at ClearOne. "As a representative company from the audio conferencing industry, we are extremely pleased that Tim will represent ClearOne and we know he will have a very positive impact."
