As the September 9 deadline for the federal government’s three-day in-office mandate approaches, many CAPE members are expressing concerns about how this will impact work-life balance, productivity, and overall well-being.

To help address these concerns, CAPE is collaborating with other federal public service unions to host a virtual town hall on telework.

This is an opportunity for unions to give an update on what we have been doing to fight back, discuss the challenges of the in-office mandate, and how we can collectively push for a future of work that benefits everyone — a future where flexible work arrangements are the norm, not the exception.

What: National virtual town hall on telework

When:

• Wednesday, August 28, 8 p.m. ET

Who:

• Sharon DeSousa, National President, Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC)
• Jennifer Carr, President, Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC)
• Nathan Prier, National President, Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE)
• Dany Richard, President, Association of Canadian Financial Officers (ACFO)

The government’s current directive threatens to undo the progress made with telework, a model that has significantly improved job satisfaction and work-life balance. Join the town hall to learn more about the implications of the mandate and how we can push back together.

Ensure your voice is heard as we strive for a modern, inclusive, and flexible workplace.
