Blog » No Phone Zone
I have been watching Oprah Winfrey's No Phone Zone in agreement! Yes Yes Yes we need to not talk on the phones with one another while in the car.
Our dilemma is that our staff is mobile providing therapy in homes, schools, communities. Therapists have bluetooth, headsets, and surround sound in their cars...making them hands free. But its still not good enough! Why?!? Because I know how the brain works...we were not built to drive and phone...and all that it involves.
I had the opportunity for 2 weeks not to use my phone at all in my car (due to phone issues) and it was not so bad at all! Radio, observing my surroundings...it was more peaceful!
But I do have to remember how our office works...we are virtual. We have partnered with Alfred Green, BKAEG Technologies, and our staff laptops have sofphones. So staff can talk when they are parked and have internet access. The sofphones are to deter staff from using cell phones. The computer based phones allow us to still be in touch and they can be actively used when our staff is not behind the wheel driving.
Beginning Monday...SLC staff will receive their No Phone Zone contracts and move forward from there.
They can use those times without phone use while on the job to decompress, decompress, listen to music, have coffee, etc.
Enjoy and Be Empowered
