Why
engage our services?
Many organizations have
formally adopted implemented telework (with formal telework programs
and policies etc).
Many do not practice
telework at all, despite that some of their employees want to
telework and have job functions that are teleworkable. One reason is that
telework is a relatively new concept. In other cases, the company does not have the time or
expertise and are simply uncertain of just how the benefits of
telework can apply in their organizational environment.
Many other companies allow 'informal' telework - that is where there is no company program,
and employees telework with the managerial approval. While this
approach may yield benefits, these benefits are a far cry from the
benefits of a company wide program. Furthermore, informal telework
programs introduce many risks into the equation
—
security, health, management, productivity, etc.
While organizations
can design and implement telework programs themselves, it can be a complex, time consuming and costly
proposition. There are also a
great many key issues, risks and pitfalls that need to be addressed
(including, legal, administrative, performance, managerial, etc.).
Having designed,
managed, evaluated and/or improved some of Canada's oldest, largest and most successful
telework programs, in both private and public sectors, we are
considered as being among the very best. Our reputation
for quality work extends internationally.
