workforce demographics
TELUS employs almost 30,000 people. The TELUS team works primarily in Canada, except for 3,385 team members at our subsidiary TELUS International.
Retention
At TELUS, we strive to be an employer of choice. This means achieving and maintaining a reputation as a preferred employer with the ability to attract, retain and motivate the TELUS team. We strive to accomplish this by creating a high-performance culture where team members can perform at their fullest potential. Some initiatives that support retention are respectful workplace initiatives, mid and long-term incentives, market-priced base and variable compensation, and a wide array of career opportunities. With the ratification of the new collective agreement, British Columbia bargaining unit team members now also enjoy variable compensation based on achieving corporate targets.
Union representation
TELUS team members are represented by three unions – the Telecommunications Workers Union, the Syndicat Québécois des employés de TELUS and the Syndicat des agents de maîtrise de TELUS. The number of unionized team members increased in 2005 primarily due to inclusion of the former Clearnet employees into the Telecommunications Workers Union.
