Workforce meeting highlights environmental culture

Workforce Connections hosted a workplace culture breakfast forum on Wednesday at Stoney Creek.

About 115 representatives from local businesses attended the meeting, listening to key note speakers from Organic Valley and LHI present on ways to improve workplace culture.

Ann Boland, Chairman of the Workforce Connections Board said various aspects of culture or one`s work environment play a role in retention, recruitment, and quality.

"It`s attitude, it`s a common belief system, it`s really the key success factor for companies. It`s building an organization that people want to work for, building an organization that can retain talent, good talent and grow. Because our organizations are all about the people, we are only as good as the people," said Boland.
