Last week we talked about why their companies need a committed \u201cculture makeover\u201d in 2014, and this week we\u2019re talking virtual workplace trends. The fact is,\xa0the rise of global networks and mobile technology now makes it possible to build a distributed workforce today -- anywhere, anytime, easily and cost-effectively while improving productivity and engagement. According to Bersin by Deloitte, Telus, one of the largest telecommunications companies in Canada, has \u201cincreased its employee engagement from 53 percent three years ago to 83 percent today"\xa0because more than 60 percent of Telus\u2019s 40,000 employees now work from home and have a supportive infrastructure that empowers getting work done.
