5. Rewarding Workplace

Under its organizational design initiative, the AGCO continued to examine the optimal structure for the agency and identified a number of opportunities to be more flexible, dynamic, and agile. These efforts will help to ensure the organization is eventually structured to support the best possible delivery of services and strategic priorities while being able to anticipate and respond to future disruption and change.
The first stage of a Remote Work Arrangement program was launched to provide a flexible structure for employees to occasionally work from an alternate work location, when appropriate to their duties and functions.
The AGCO NEXT initiative continued to focus on organizational engagement through activities such as NEXT Talks, which were modeled after the popular TED Talks and invited employees to create and deliver a presentation to all staff related to a specific theme.
In response to recent Employee Engagement Survey results, the AGCO committed to developing action plans to build on two corporate themes: opportunities to have ideas adopted and put into use, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of work structures and processes.
The AGCO held its first-ever virtual Town Hall series. Taking a modern, cost-effective approach, the series connected with AGCO staff across the province over the course of one week through a combination of live streaming interactive sessions, themed days with customized content, recorded presentations and an employee social media platform to respond to questions.
