Out-of-office positions give RuralEx employees more flexibility

January 26, 2008 by Chuck | 2 Comments


RuralEx is a new telecommunications service provider based in Saskatoon Canada.

As you can read in this article about RuralEx the company’s purpose, in part, is to provide home based call center jobs in this rural section of Canada. Here’s how the owner describes what’s going on:

Weber is planning to tap into a somewhat forgotten workforce with the launch of his new company. The entrepreneur believes the work from home services provided by RuralEx, such as technical support, outbound marketing and market research, will appeal to stay-at-home parents, the recently retired, rural workers reluctant to travel for work and people with mobility challenges. Starting with 25 out-of-office positions, Weber hopes to expand his in-home workforce to 100 employees by the end of the year.

“I believe strongly that the future of employment exists in remote employment. If you can imagine being able to select from the best people in the world as opposed to the best people in Saskatoon, I think that is where employment is going to go,” he said.

RuralEx employees based out of the home have the same responsibilities and career opportunities as any other worker, he said, explaining just because people can work in their pyjamas doesn’t mean they can be lazy.

“I think there’s a bit of a stigmatism in some cases about a work-from-home environment, but this is essentially doing the same job you would be asked to do here, but in a home environment,” he said. “One of the barriers that we want to make sure that we get past is that this is a real job.”

Here’s an example of one of their job orders.

    Hi,

    I believe this is a great initiative in Canada. I believe the best contacts to get the word out would be from REDA’s. I will be contacting mine very soon about opportunities for new residents that are actively moving into our community.

    regards.
