Do you have staff? Do you need staff? Well this is the session for you! Join the Fernie Chamber of Commerce as we talk about the issue on every business owner’s mind – how to attract and retain quality staff for your business.
This FREE community information session will include presentations from the Fernie Chamber of Commerce, Work BC, BC Restaurant & Food Services Association and Brij Rathi Consultancy. Join the conversation about staffing our businesses in Fernie.
This free event is designed to help with the staffing issues faced by many of our local businesses and to facilitate open discussions on solving this issue. Staffing for businesses is a challenge in the Fernie area due to the seasonal nature of the tourism economy, lack of certain skilled workers, and a small labor market with growing demand. All parties interested are welcome to attend.
