In a vibrant, urban and growing metropolis of more than one million people, Calgary businesses are looking for innovative ways to attract and retain employees. While telework is not a new concept, Calgary Economic Development (CED) is trying to raise the awareness of this somewhat untapped solution to modern day business pressures and provide companies with the tools to develop and implement a successful, efficient and cost-friendly telework program that suits their individual business needs.

Working towards addressing these challenges, CEDýs workforce initiative program, CalgaryWorks, hosted Here or There, Embracing Telework, the last forum in the Building Calgaryýs Talent series.

Attendants heard from three keynote speakers - Professors Alain Verbeke and Bob Schulz, from the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary, and Ian Gover ý open work consultant. Presentations and panel discussion were led by Mark Lang ý Human Resources Senior Business Partner, Telus; Suzy Moutinho ý Strategic Initiatives program manager, Canadian Pacific Railways; and Nicole Springer ý General Counsel and HR director, Axia NetMedia.
