Ron Walker - WA State Division of Child Support

Ron Walker is the District Manager for WA State DSHS – Division of Child Support. As a state agency, they offer a strong teleworking program, which makes them a competitive employer of choice. Employees spend less days commuting to the office, reducing the stress of commuting and saving them money on fuel and wear and tear on their cars. Ron feels their employees who telework are more productive and enjoy the benefits of a healthy work/life balance.

The Division of Child Support also offers compressed work schedules, preferred parking for carpoolers, secured bike storage and an Emergency Ride Home program.

Ron feels their Commute Smart program greatly reduces the carbon footprint and helps to benefit the community by reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality.
