Join BDC, the Cape Breton Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Cape Breton Partnership for a Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, November 27, at the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavilion in the Kavanaugh Room from 11:30AM until 1:30PM. We’re excited to welcome Sean Pile, Client Partner, BDC Advisory Services and Adam Nalepa, Senior Business Advisor, Business Organizational Capabilities, BDC as our guest speakers. More than ever, recruiting and retaining talented and motivated employees is a major challenge, especially for growing companies. This often stems from poorly defined roles and responsibilities, unstructured recruitment practices, values not conveyed in the organization, an ill-defined employer brand, etc. Attendees will learn three main strategies for attracting and retaining workers to help see things more clearly. Several concepts and tools will be presented: employer branding, engagement strategies based on professional development and advancement, and the structured recruitment process. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of BDC, this event is free to Chamber Members, Cape Breton Partnership Investors, and BDC clients.
