A brief description of the program:
Dalhousie offers a number of programs that promotes travel avoidance as a key strategy in Transportation Demand Management including: compressed work week, flex-time, alternate scheduling, job sharing, and tele-working policy. Dalhousie recognizes the opportunities and challenges that teleworking can  present. Telework policies  respond to:   -improving and supporting employee motivation, productivity, recruitment,  and  well‐being;   - growing  pressure on office space; -the flexibility of technology; and     -environmental and social impacts of travel to and from the office.       This Policy sets out the framework within which Dalhousie administers non-faculty employee requests to  telework.
