Provide Ongoing Support for Working Remotely
Image
Description
- Working remotely (i.e. teleworking or working from home) is a common practice in many workplaces.
- Working remotely reduces commuting activity and can lead to significant cost savings through workspace sharing, increased productivity, and time savings in addition to many environmental benefits of removing the commute to work altogether.
Guidance
- Applicants should ensure that the property management companies or employers join the Smart Commute North Toronto-Vaughan program to provide support for employees and organizations that are interested in working remotely.
- Applicants should take increasing rates of remote working into consideration by offering amenities such as coworking spaces in residential developments.
- For non-residential uses, the Smart Commute program provides employees with the remote work resources and support.
Development Review
- The applicant shall submit proof of correspondence to join the Smart Commute program as a paying member as a condition of the applicable development agreement and/or through a letter of credit.
- Alternatively, the applicant shall submit a letter from a future tenant than will offer remote work options.
Monitoring and Reporting
- Submit completed monitoring survey results to the City of Vaughan.
