What does a WORKshift pilot include?

Participating companies are given the opportunity to test world-class on-boarding, tracking and training components to make implementation of telework programs fast and easy.

WORKshift will provide a telework management tool (Teletrips) that makes it easy (and free!) for organizations to identify the right employees for telework, to establish organizational benchmarks, to onboard employees (this includes policies and agreements!), train them (e-Work!) and manage them.  Have a look at this demo for more information.

Why Calgary?

There are many factors involved when determining the region’s suitability and readiness for telework.

Telework offers many benefits to employers in the Calgary region, including:

• A flexible work model, to help address skilled labour shortages
• An eco-friendly work model, to reduce the carbon footprint, allowing businesses to become more sustainable and reflect the values of their employees

On the flip-side, Calgary workers are ideally suite to telework, since:

• A significant number are knowledge-workers
• Many are willing to try new ways of working and doing business to increase profitability and better the community
• Calgarians are known for their entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit

WORKshift promotes the use of technology to improve bottom-line profitability while improving the lives of Calgarians and their families.
