Canada (ON): Night School for Supervisors and HR Managers

Labour costs and access to a reliable workforce has become a very strategic part of growing flowers. As our federal government drives for Free Trade and global markets, our provincial government expands its worker protection legislation. Employers struggle to adjust their management model to remain competitive.

The FCO Night School will focus on how to develop, implement and sustain employee engagement or empowerment process to obtain the worker efficiencies required to remain competitive. What is Employee Engagement?—a process to make every employee as much of an individual manager of their job as possible. Establish an environment of mutual trust and respect that encourages workers to participate in problem identification, problem resolution and continuous improvement. It is leadership through persuasion and not management through power.

Night School will begin Tuesday, October 13 and will continue for 5 consecutive Tuesday evenings (Oct. 20, 27, Nov. 3, 10 and 17) starting at 7:30 PM at Rittenhouse Hall, Vineland Research and Innovation Center.
