Everyone in our company works remotely. We needed a way to build a shared vision of our company and its culture, promote equity, diversity and inclusion, and give our team members the tools and information they need to enjoy their work and feel productive and engaged on a daily basis, and over time. As part of their practicum, the Durham students worked closely with us to design and document processes, procedures, and tools, to help us improve the hiring and recruitment process, daily work experience of new and current team members, and improve our internal communication and organization. They helped us understand how to define and communicate remote working standards and habits, how to use and get help with the various tools and processes we follow for time-tracking, project management, reporting, what kind of meeting standards were needed, how to track holidays and leave requests, and so much more. At the same time they firmly grounded their recommendations in Ontario and Canadian employment law. The Durham students demonstrated enthusiasm, research skills, creativity and insight throughout the practicum. The work they produced has already been put to use and will be of continued great value to us as we build our team. They were a real asset to our company, always professional and pleasant to work with, reliable, trustworthy, and fit in very well with our team. Highly recommended!
