Hello:

Our team would like to invite you to participate in our survey about Telecommuting: The Challenges and Opportunities associated with it. We are doing a research project for our Design Thinking course at Radford University. In this survey, people will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about working at home and working in office environments. There are 13 questions and it will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire.


Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.


Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. All information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Brittany Little by email at [email protected].


Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the start button below.
