Leigh-Anne Finch is a Human Resources Manager at Baker Tilly Rockies LLP | The past few decades have seen the accelerated growth of remote work arrangements, from roles traditionally performed off-site to a trendy and popular fringe benefit. This perk was largely offered by progressive organizations to its previously on-site workers. Today, remote work arrangements are no longer a passing trend, but an option that employees across Canada’s diverse industries expect to be offered. A 2018 study by Indeed revealed that 62 per cent of Canadian employers offer some type of remote work option. It is now less a question of whether employers should offer a remote work option, than how employers can ensure the success of their remote work program. Softchoice’s 2017 study “Collaboration Unleashed” revealed that 74 per cent of workers would be enticed to quit their jobs for the chance to work remotely more often.
