Workplace flexibility programs are steadily gaining momentum as a way of adding additional value to employee compensation packages. These days, nine out of ten organizations offer some or all employees the ability to choose from available options when they work, which means that if your organization does not currently offer flexible work hours, it's in the minority.

In our latest guest blog Linda Reid, Consultant at Western Compensation & Benefits Consultants, discusses how workplace flexibility programs can not only help your workplace culture grow but also help your business succeed.

Read about why these programs are important to the future of your business.

125 years ago, a group of 46 business leaders – including a gun maker, a horse trader and the local “boot and shoe man,” came together to form the Calgary Chamber. They believed they could accomplish more together than apart, and believed in something – that Calgary is a great city, and that together they could do, and achieve, more.  In 2016 we continue that legacy, proudly.

We will be celebrating this momentous milestone in a big way at our upcoming 125th Annual General Meeting, and in recognition of the leadership role you have played in the success of the Chamber and our city, we would like to invite you to be a part of it.

Join us at the top of The Bow to celebrate the past, present and future of your Calgary Chamber.
