Workshops
Entrepreneurs in Action: As the economy roars back to life, it’s become clear that the past 18 months have fast-forwarded long-term disruption. From growing labour shortages and the rise of remote work to the expansion of digital business and increasingly frequent climate events; Canadian entrepreneurs will need to focus on innovation, inclusion and sustainability to maintain their growth amidst these changes.
Attracting employees in a turbulent labour market: The pandemic has certainly forced companies to shift their recruitment and employee benefits strategies. Join us to learn more about how to develop a sound recruitment strategy and a best practice approach to optimize your selection results. Learn more about the proactive benefits solutions that will elevate your offering during these challenging times.
Level Up Your Life: Are you an engaging and dynamic presenter even when the camera comes on? Do you genuinely connect with your audience on camera and in person? Are you still ‘yourself’ if the spotlight is on you? Whether you’re looking for funding, hiring key talent or actively selling your product, you need your audience to be as passionate about your business as you are. Though the list of hats an entrepreneur must wear is long, ultimately, if you can’t educate and motivate your clients, your team or your investors, it is impossible to Xcelerate your business
The Future is Hybrid: Did you know: According to Zoom, Hybrid work led to improvements in productivity, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and diversity and inclusion (compared to pre-pandemic levels). Join Botree, a business advisory and training group, as we look at data-driven solutions for your workplace. In this open and engaging workshop, we will be discussing the upcoming “Great Resignation”, teach you how to keep your employees invested, provide you with real examples from local businesses, and show how your business can thrive by adopting a hybrid model.
