Are Canadians not working hard enough? Let's shed some light on Canada's productivity challenge.
Canada and Finland share the same GDP per capita — yet Finns achieve it with 200 fewer work hours annually. They work smarter while Canadians work harder. Join us as we explore what Canada’s productivity challenge means for leaders, why this multi-layered challenge will require cultures of innovation, improved capital investments, and supportive policies to solve, and how executives can lead their organizations toward smarter ways of working that support a thriving Canadian economy for all.
Join us for an exclusive event featuring illuminating insights and peer-to-peer discussion
