Distance is a real competitive disadvantage when it comes to hiring and keeping good people. That's exactly what our upcoming webinar is designed to address.

💼Employers in the Charlotte region are using vanpool to:

→ Pull from a wider hiring radius without losing candidates to the commute
→ Reduce the absenteeism and turnover
→ Offer a tangible benefit to employees when remote work isn't on the table

Join CONNECT Centralina and Commute with Enterprise to hear directly from employers who've made it work — and all you need to know to see if it's right for you.

Description: When your workforce is spread across a 30–90 minute commute radius, distance becomes a real problem—for hiring, for showing up, and for staying. Employees don't always quit the job. They quit the drive.
