Thousands of employees who work in the Atlanta Perimeter area won’t be coming to the office for at least one day this week.

Perimeter Connects, a program focused on providing transportation solutions, has partnered with companies located in the Dunwoody, Sandy Springs area to kick off the inaugural Perimeter Work Week, which started Oct. 28 and will end on Nov. 1.

The initiative encourages employees of participating companies, Mercedes-Benz USA, Beazer Homes, Cox Enterprises and VMware, to work remotely for at least one day this week or to not travel to work during heavy traffic times.
