Many Canadians are looking for ways to maintain their work-life balance with a focus on workplace flexibility. To accommodate this, Canadian PR agency Media Profile is offering a $3K Work Away Benefit for employees of the agency for the second year in a row.
Media Profile's Work Away benefit allows employees to work remotely for up to one month with $3,000 financial support from the company, removing the financial barrier for those who wish to take workcations. The benefit was highly utilized in 2022, with 47% of employees taking advantage. Despite economic challenges, the company continues to support its employees by offering this benefit in 2023.
“It is fantastic getting to see how excited people at Media Profile are around taking advantage of the Work Away benefit,” said Alison King, President at Media Profile. “There’s no limit to the creativity too - we’ve had employees conquer it completely solo to colleagues booking group trips and banding together. I think this really speaks to how supportive the culture is here at our agency.”
