A 'refresh' session to help keep your learning alive.

This one-day learning session is particularly relevant for those who have been unable to attend other learning events over the past two years.  It's a great opportunity to refresh your Insights skills-set with new ideas, the latest materials, and re-learn (or remember) some of the unique ways to use Insights in your organization.

For more information about this session, please contact our office. 

What did it take for Coastal Community to achieve the most successful technology conversion in their 60 year history, with no significant member impact, and higher levels of employee confidence and competence?  

At the December 5th Insights Regional Conference, Deborah Edwards, Acting AVP Human Resources and Organizational Development,  shared how they collaborated with Insights Vancouver to measure levels of engagement throughout their recent banking conversion, introduce the Insights engagement model to their employees using their portal system, and prepare timely leadership actions.  She further commented that the Aon/Hewitt engagement survey to find the top 50 employers in Canada was conducted during their banking conversion - and they moved from 49th to 20th spot. Congratulations to Coastal Community for their continued leadership.

For further information about this project contact Bruno Dragani or Deborah Edwards at Coastal Community in Nanaimo, or Joyce Gwilliam, Insights Vancouver.
