Coming Soon: Canada Flex Report
Hybrid work is a hot topic in Canada at the moment, especially for federal workers! Recent new hybrid rules requiring federal workers to come into the office a minimum of three days a week have been met with stiff resistance by four unions who are planning a “summer of discontent.”
We were curious — what are the broader trends in hybrid work in Canada? Does adoption of work location flexibility look the same as it does in the United States, or are there meaningful differences? This report will be our first ever deep dive into work location flexibility in Canada; we’ll also do a compare / contrast on each key measure with policies in the US.
