Employers are insisting on more in-person work to help foster more collaboration and ensure new employees have an opportunity to learn on the job
The mayors of Toronto and Ottawa have lamented the loss of activity in downtown cores. But Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has said 'when it comes to returning to in-office work, it’s up to employers and workers to determine what’s best.
When pandemic restrictions began to ease, workers rebelled against going back to the office five days a week and their employers mostly acquiesced and appeared to embrace flexible work.
Telus spokesperson Brandi Merker said the company recognizes in-office work “represents an evolution to the way we’ve worked over the last few years,” and is offering generous voluntary-separation packages for anyone in the call-centre operation who makes the personal decision that this way of working doesn’t meet their needs.
The investment watchdog said its leaders work closely with their teams to co-ordinate their in-office days and ensure everyone is following their remote-work policy. In the national capital, about 85 per cent of City of Ottawa staff are required to be in the workplace every day and the remainder need to work on-site a minimum of two days a week, according to the city’s chief human resources officer Pamela LeMaistre.
