Entrevestor Live: East Coast Startup Success

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax, NS

Entrevestor Live is a half-day hybrid event dedicated to the greatest successes in the Atlantic Canadian startup community. Dispelling the myth that #StartupAtlantic features only early-stage companies, Entrevestor Live showcases the growth-stage companies that have had major funding rounds, exits or gained a global presence. What’s more, our conference is designed to maximize the time and budget of our customers. Its three-hour duration means you can attend without surrendering a day or more of your precious time. (People in Halifax will still benefit from a networking session after the program.) And it’s priced so that even early-stage founders can attend, either in person in Halifax or online from anywhere. If you’re an investor, Entrevestor Live will show you what’s happening in Atlantic Canadian startups – in the most successful companies, those companies poised to join the top tier, and the emerging sectors. If you’re a founder, the program will help you understand how the best companies got where they are. Either way, this is a must-see event. We're delighted to partner with Volta, Canada's East Coast Innovation Hub, which has agreed to host Entrevestor Live. A networking session will follow the event at Volta.

Information is Useless without Action: How to rapidly impact workplace mental health

Online

There is growing information that workplace mental health is becoming a more significant challenge (e.g., YOY increases in STD/LTD & WCB claims due to mental illness). Knowing workers’ mental health is a growing concern is not enough. Assuming that simply introducing programs and policies will be enough to have an impact is a common mistake. To positively impact workplace mental health, employers must understand what psychosocial risk factors and hazards are creating considerable strain on workers and leaders. They must then discover what protective factors they can facilitate by using a Plan – Do – Check – Act approach to reducing mental harm and promoting mental health. Transformation and impactful workplace mental health initiatives drive worker engagement and productivity and lower sick time and disability costs, contributing to a secure and sustainable workforce. In 2020, companies with the highest workforce treatment scores in Just Capital’s rankings outperformed the Russell 1000 by 4.7 percent. Dr. Bill Howatt, an international expert in workplace mental health, will provide professionals tasked with facilitating workplace mental health a framework for putting your organization on the right track to transforming workplace mental health. All workers and leaders have mental health. How effectively employers and employees promote […]
