Regus Offers Local Workers Free Flexible Workspace to Lessen the Environmental Impact of Long Commutes on Earth Day

As a leader in the
progressive workplace environment, Regus, the world’s largest provider of
flexible workplaces, is opening up all of its local business lounges for free
on Earth Day (April 22, 2014) to help employees save gas and reduce emissions
by skipping the long commute and work from a Regus center instead.



Unnecessary carbon emissions, wasted time
and loss of productivity are just a few of the negatives associated with a
lengthy car ride into work.  According to the US Census bureau, the
average one-way work day commute in the U.S. is 25 minutes. That adds up
to more than 100 hours a year behind the wheel, pumping tons of harmful
greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. By offering free flexible work space for
everyone, not only is Regus encouraging workplace sustainability, but it also
hopes that participating corporations will experience the benefits of giving
employees flexible work options. To find a Regus
