For many employees, telecommuting is a way to enhance work efficiency, while also offering a positive accommodation between work and the needs of a growing family. Perhaps not surprisingly, program assistant Danae George was well aware of the benefits of telecommuting. Her husband, Steve George has been a FLVS faculty member for more than four years.

Besides offering the opportunity to care for her two young children, Mrs. George’s job offers many additional satisfactions. Due to an increase in enrollment, she is the first FLVS staffer assigned full-time to student placement. Her job entails accurate and timely student placement in appropriate and available courses.

Mrs. George believes that FLVS students and parents deserve professional service from a professionally motivated staff. For her, creating customer satisfaction is a process that must begin with the initial contacts between a school and its students. When students and their parents sense that a school understands their needs, the entire educational experience is enhanced.

Mrs. George is aided in her job by her detail-oriented approach and a prior work history that emphasized accuracy and customer service. She takes a personal pride in her school and in the role she plays in student success.

Today, both Mr. and Mrs. George work from the same home in separate home offices. Florida Virtual School is one important aspect of their lives that they share in common. So is their desire to care about their family, their students, and the quality of the work they perform.
