Motivating the Workforce
BATW ExercisesTelecom, a telecommunications company, is considering implementing a telecommuting
policy in order to increase employee satisfaction and motivation. Telecom executives
think this new option will be very popular among its family-oriented employees,
who may be joggling the demands of work in addition to that of raising children.
As a preliminary measure, the new policy will only be implemented in three of
Telecom's nationwide buildings. Using the census data provided in the Business
Around the World Map for the US, find out which three states are most likely
to qualify as test locations. (Hint: High percentages of households with more
than 2 people and higher numbers of people under the age of 18 would be ideal
places to begin looking.)
