The orientation is scheduled once a month and is designed to give Temps:
An overview of the tools in Workday and IO that they will need to fulfill tasks such as filling out a time card or knowing how to access their benefits.
A guide to their rights and benefits under the Collective Agreement and the support the CMG offers Temps
Understanding the career resources and support offered by The Temp Project.
Next session: April 24, 2025 1400-1530 ET
If you are interested in taking the course, please use your CBC email to sign up here in Workday for future sessions. You need to include the name of your current manager/supervisor so that you can be released for the training if you are scheduled to work that day. Please let them know you are signing up for the on-boarding. Once your registration and release is confirmed, we will send you an email with the calendar invitation to attend the course virtually.
Halifax Temp Supporters organize Temp meet up
Halifax Radio Producer Mary-Catherine McIntosh is a Temp Supporter who remembers the ups and downs of Temping at the CBC. On November 14, 2024 she joined forces with four other Temp Supporters in Halifax to organize a meet up with Temps in the main kitchenette area. The supporters brought refreshments to share.
The event attracted 10 Temps.
Mary-Catherine wrote, "Being a casual worker can be unpredictable, lonely - and hard! This meet-up gave us a chance to let our temp co-workers know we care and are here to help! Some of us didn't even know everyone's name before today. We even left a few minutes for venting (of course!) "
Thank you to all the Temp Supporters in Halifax who organised this event!
We are hoping there will be many more opportunities for Temps to meet their Supporters in locations across the country. You don't have to wait for an event to get your questions answered. If you want to connect with someone in your region, check out the Temp Supporters here.
Thank you Mary-Catherine for the photos!
