Flexible Work Options: Choice @ Work
When it comes to balancing the demands of career and personal life, you have choices.
At TD Bank Financial Group, we understand that individuals who are able to balance the needs of work and home are more effective employees and more successful family and community members.
We recognize that the approach to blending your personal and professional life is different for each person and can also vary over time. That's why we strive to provide our employees with a supportive work environment and a variety of flexible work options.
Changing your start & end times
“I have worked full time for 19 years with a growing family. Now three of my girls are in school full days but our youngest is still in every other day. Having flexible work hours and days really helps me maintain a home/life balance. We are very involved in their school as chair on school council, and also have outside activities. The flexibility in my schedule helps me achieve my goals at work and home.”
(Deanna, Financial Service Representative, TD Canada Trust)
Reducing your workweek
“I have been fortunate to be able work a reduced workweek (4 days) for 12 years. This arrangement has given me the opportunity to achieve great balance in my life, without sacrificing the goals I have set for myself in both my career and my personal life.”
(Lisa, Senior Manager Finance, Corporate Segment Finance)
Sharing a job with another employee (Job Partnership)
"When the first of my two children was born, I welcomed the opportunity to share my full time job with another employee. Today, six years later, I have work I enjoy as well as the ability to spend time as a volunteer at my sons' school. My life feels very balanced."
(Raquel, Human Resources Counsellor, TD Commercial Banking)
Changing the number of days you work each week, while keeping your hours the same
"Being able to compress my work week into a four day schedule is super all year long. I have the time I need to study for my financial planning courses, run errands or simply relax."
(Kevin, Team Sales Manager, TD Canada Trust)
Gradual transition
“The thought of returning from maternity leave after having my daughter Grace was daunting and stressful, however TD’s Gradual Transition program helped me through the transition easily and stress free. By having the ability to transition back into a 5 day work week I was easily able to adjust, balance, and manage my home and work responsibilities, which I am very grateful for.”
(Stacey, HR Program Administrator, Wholesale Banking)
Flexible place options
“I was conflicted about my decision to come back to work early from my maternity leave, but the flexibility to work from home 2 days a week has made it so much easier. My commute is cut down considerably and my children get to see me more. TD provides me great work/life balance.”
(Patricia, Manager Commercial Credit, TD Commercial Banking)
