The Missouri Department of Transportation successfully implemented a telecommuting program, demonstrating flexibility during snowy conditions and equipment hurdles. Through investments in technology such as LogMeIn and Cisco, the program expanded, proving effective with increased full-time equivalents (FTEs) from 2 in 2010 to over 8 in 2011. Key strategies included improved safety and compliance measures, documentation, supervisor accountability, and revised work processes, leading to maintained performance levels and successful communication among remote teams.
