HYBRID. The corporate office is in Greater Vancouver, right off a Highway. Free employee parking is provided. Initial training will likely be full-time in office, and after that the Senior HRBP can start to work from home 2 days/week. This employer believes in give and take… on occasion the Senior HRBP will start their workday early to cross-over with other time zones, and on other days maybe the employee finishes work early for a personal appointment or engagement. This is not a micro-management or clock-watching culture, the company trusts their employees to manage their own time, get the work done and hit their deadlines. This company has built a vibrant culture here in Canada, and it’s an exciting time to be in the office to form meaningful business relationships with colleagues from all around the world.
