In the 19th century, some factory workers in Canada were expected to work 72 hours each week. It wasn’t until the 1960s that the standard work week reached the current 40-hour norm. Today, the overwhelming majority of workers in Canada are in favour of further reductions. Many companies have already experimented with a four-day work week with reduced hours, and 91 per cent of them have chosen to stay with it.</p> Wed, 07 Aug 2024 20:06:55 +0000 webfull 201141 at /channels /channels/channels/news/expert-5-reasons-why-canada-should-consider-moving-4-day-work-week-358166 <p>Nine out of 10 Canadians are interested in a four-day work week, <a href="https://blog.talent.com/en/canadians-would-love-a-four-day-work-week-but-are-concerned-about-its-implementation" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">according to a recent survey</a>, making it their most desirable benefit ahead of health care, flexible scheduling and additional vacation days.</p> Wed, 31 Jul 2024 20:34:36 +0000 webfull 201018 at /channels /channels/channels/news/expert-treating-healthcare-calling-not-business-357351 <p>Because healthcare is a calling, we must cease trying to run it like a business, according to ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Professor Henry Mintzberg.

People in Quebec only started attending university in significant numbers in the 1960s. And Quebec’s highly educated workforce has yielded dividends, writes Nicolas Bérubé in La Presse. In 2021, the median household income was up 26% from ten years before. It’s a golden age for earners in Quebec, and with more income comes more money management responsibility. <strong>ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û’s free, online Personal Finance Essentials</strong> <strong>course</strong> can help people learn more about managing their money.</p> Wed, 03 Apr 2024 19:37:59 +0000 webfull 199196 at /channels /channels/channels/event/csso-speaker-series-guest-tiona-zuzul-356427 <p><strong>EVENT CANCELLED</strong><br /> Guest: <em><strong>Tiona Zuzul </strong></em></p> <p>Theme<em>: -  <strong>Managing the promise-risk tension: Recrafting framing of innovation after catastrophic failure. </strong></em></p> Tue, 26 Mar 2024 19:08:55 +0000 webfull 198998 at /channels
