IBM is committed to flexible working hours. Employees arrange their schedule with their manager, and according to the business needs. Employees also have the option to extend or compress their 40-hour work week into different numbers of days, or work regular part-time for 50, 60, or 80 percent of the full work week.
Working from home
At the IBM Toronto Lab, the majority of the population has a ThinkPad computer. This promotes flexible working hours and the option to work remotely when needed. Employees can access the network at home through a high speed connection or their phone line.
Fitness Centre - Active Blue
Active Blue is the fitness centre onsite at the Lab and open to all regular IBM Canada employees. It houses a full compliment of cardiovascular and weight machines, free weights, a workout studio for group exercise classes, and is complete with showers and lockers. All employees are provided with a personal fitness assessment before using the centre by our on-staff kinesiologist.
