Telework Week: April 19-23, 2010
Thank you Calgary!
Telework Week—the first of its kind in Canada–helped to foster Calgary’s reputation of innovation, global competiveness and sustainability. Businesses and individuals learned first-hand how working at the places and times that they are most effective has tangible and positive bottom-line impacts on organizations, commuters, families and the environment.
The week’s events point to a bright future for telecommuting in Calgary.
Here Are Some of the Highlights:
