You will be seeing five different Boating Industry Canada Employer of Choice Award stories, starting this week with Princecraft winning Award status for the 5th consecutive year. You should check out their Award acceptance video – it’s full of other smart human resources ideas.
Attendance numbers for the NMMA Canada virtual event were quite impressive and I believe it was an excellent program. I get to do the opening introductions and give a short presentation. This year I showed a new version of the Canada’s national population trends graph.
I said that we were enjoying a big demographic wave that “floats our boats” – but beware!
