In addition to the train, Erbacci is working
on the renovation of terminals, improvements
to the airfield to alleviate congestion experienced
on the ground, and adding more gates
and a new concourse. A new elevated roadway
system is also underway to replace the current
system of how cars enter the central terminal,
easing traffic on nearby streets and improving
circulation in and out of the airport.
As Erbacci looks to the future, these projects
are anticipated to be completed in total by
2023. Though he says these changes would
have happened regardless of the upcoming
Olympics, he says that he does want to make
a good impression as athletes from all over the
globe enter our city, which these new airport
modifications will help provide. His team has
set forth an ambitious sustainability plan with
the goal of being carbon neutral by 2045.
Through all of these goals, Erbacci makes it
clear that inclusion is a priority, making sure
that diverse groups and companies have the
chance to participate in these ongoing plans.
With participation in mind, Erbacci relates
his desire to be a good neighbor to El Segundo.
With all these plans being set forth,
he is making sure the community has time
to review them and reach out with any questions,
concerns, or suggestions. Feedback to
local elected representatives will make it on
his desk, and he encourages all local residents
to be informed.
Erbacci describes a sense of honor and
privilege in his role and focuses on serving
travelers the best experience possible.
“My personal goals are those for the airport…
We want to make sure that we are providing
a world-class airport for the citizens of
Los Angeles and those who are coming to
Los Angeles.” •

Going Remote Permanently?
Successful Transition to Work-From-Home
(BPT) - As the pandemic began, many
professionals quickly switched from working
in the office to working from home. What
started as a tentative few weeks turned into
a few months and now over a year later,
many people are still working remotely.
Furthermore, at increasing rates companies
are transitioning indefinitely to hybrid or
full-time remote work.
Perhaps realizing the convenience for
employees and the cost savings for organizations,
leaders at companies nationwide
are making the move permanent. In fact, an
April 2021 report from Garner found 74%
of CFOs intend to shift some employees
to remote work permanently. This appears
to be a welcome change for most workers.
A Harvard Business School survey found
81% of professionals either don’t want to go
back to the office or would prefer a hybrid
schedule going forward.
If you’re part of the movement and will
be working from home more permanently,
it’s smart to take a fresh look at your work
environment. Many people transitioned
quickly to working at home last year and
makeshift offices became the norm. Now
that you know you’ll be working from home
regularly, making strategic updates to the
work environment can support productivity,
professionalism and overall success.
Create a Designated Work Space
Even if you don’t have the luxury of a
designated office, you can still make changes
to make remote work a bigger part of your
home life. If you have a flex room, designate
it as an office during work hours. Some
people renovate a closet or corner nook into
an office with a desk and other necessities.
If space is limited, consider a mobile office
such as a desk on casters so you can bring
your desk into the kitchen or living room
when working, and tuck away at close of
business. Monitors, such as LG’s unique Ergo
models, can replace a conventional monitor
stand with a desk clamp to free up even more
room in your work space without sacrificing
performance or screen size.
Upgrade Technology
Upgrade your old laptop with technology
that keeps up with your professional and
personal needs. For example, the LG gram
lineup is a top choice among premium Windows
laptops. LG gram laptops are sleek,
lightweight and powerful, with a vivid display.
They feature a 16:10 aspect ratio screen
which is larger than the typical 16:9 screens
found on most laptops, and maximizes work
efficiency, whether you use it for your job,
side gig or passion project. With a long-lasting
battery, you extend time between charges so
you never miss a beat. Plus, the lightweight
design makes it easily portable, so it can roll
with your daily routine.
Assess the Light
Proper light when working benefits you
more than you think. First, adequate light
