Discover ventures that can help improve employee experience
With pandemic restrictions easing, employers face new challenges. Unemployment levels remain higher than they were pre-March 2020, and many companies are struggling to land new talent. Retention is also a problem, with many workers claiming they will leave their jobs in the absence of a flexible work schedule. As part of the MaRS First Adopter Network launch event, four ventures will demo their technologies that can help your organization attract, engage and retain top talent while supporting diversity, equity and inclusion.

She’ll also open up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, maintaining a positive work culture and breaking down the stigma of mental-health struggles in business. September 28, online
