1) Improve Staff Satisfaction & Retention

Squamish Excellence
We (Squamish Chamber, District of Squamish and Tourism Squamish) are working with Christine McLeod from Everyday Leaders to bring you Squamish Excellence. The program has three pillars.
1) 101: Essential Skills 2) Stepping Up to Leadership 3) Business Academy
101: Essential Skills
A set of three workshops. Come to one workshop or all three.
- Communication
- Sales is Service
- Conflict Management
The next session is Productive Conflict Strategies.
Conflict is a leading cause of stress. The average cost of absenteeism is $3,500 per employee per year! In the upcoming workshop, we will share strategies to better anticipate, recognize and resolve conflict, and help you develop a better awareness of yourself in conflict as well as others.
