Companies of all sizes, in every sector and industry, are missing opportunities, foregoing expansion and passing up revenue due to labour shortages.
Government and private sector economists state that construction, warehousing, hospitality, health care, transportation, administration, skilled trades, and other areas are affected as well. As the Canada-wide labour crunch intensifies, what can Delta businesses do to appeal to new employees and retain current workers?
To provide a forum for members and guests to explore this issue, the next Delta Chamber of Commerce Café, will be held on March 6, 3:00 - 5:30 pm, at the Delta Arts Council Firehall Centre for the Arts (11489 - 84 Avenue, North Delta). Entitled Dealing with the Labour Crunch in Delta, it will focus on how to attract, engage and retain employees in today's tight labour market.
This Chamber Café is sponsored by two local businesses: Carol Sutton, CJS Managing Conflict Positively and Jacque Small, Catalyst Business Coaching. Both have practices that facilitate business owners and managers to improve communication with employees, creating more productive working environments. They invite the community of Delta to participate in this collaborative conversation.
