JANICE JOHNSON

Janice Johnson’s job consists of keeping her team members happy by resolving conflicts and providing solutions in a team environment. After a day of helping reduce the stress of her team, she uses her commute home to unwind. “I feel so much better when I ride, sick time is really non-existent in my life and this proves to be a huge benefit for the company… when you look at people who are physcally active, a lot less sick days accrue,” said Johnson. She credits her ride to work in the morning for her success throughout her 27 years as a TELUS employee. “I love riding to work in the early morning, because you’re awake, you’re chipper, you’re happy, you’re refreshed.” She previously won a bike after being awarded top sales person before she was transferred to a management position.

TELUS in Calgary provides team members with free locker rentals, underground bike parking, and on-site showers. TELUS, a National Sponsor of the Commuter Challenge in 2008, is also a leader in teleworking, supporting team members to work where and when it is most efficient for them. On Johnson’s floor alone, twenty-five agents have switched to working from home full-time. And across the country, TELUS’ Flexible Workstyles Program empowers thousands of team members to work from home a few days a month or more, saving them time and money and improving their work/life balance, while at the same atom reducing their carbon footprint.
