Island Recruiting recently kicked off an Human Resource Business Engagement Project. The project is sponsored by the Atlantic Population Table and managed by the PEI Chambers of Commerce.
The objective of this HR pilot project is to make small businesses aware of pending and current HR challenges in the PEI market. Challenges include the impact of demographics and an aging workforce, managing expectations of different generational workforces, providing an inclusive and diverse work environment, understanding the foreign worker recruiting process and developing employment retention strategies.
Over the course of the project, Island Recruiting will be working closely with a number of Small and Medium Enterprises on PEI to assess their current HR processes and systems and at the end of the project to make recommendations on how to improve their internal HR resources.
A public forum will be presented to the Island business community upon completion of the project. If you would like more information on the project please contact Wendy MacIntyre at Island Recruiting.
