Putting employee health and wellness first with virtual healthcare

For the last five years, virtual care has gone beyond being a new ‘buzz word’ in the workplace benefits industry, to virtually taking over the conversation. By leveraging virtual care services, the health and wellness of employees across Canada can be improved exponentially.

Virtual healthcare can be the difference between accessing timely care versus traveling long distances to another town or city for care; or worse, spending months on a waiting list.

A Question of Leadership: Leading Organizational Change in Times of Crisis

Whether planned or unexpected, change presents leaders with their toughest sustained challenges – regardless of the leader’s seniority or the organization’s size. For many leaders, change brings drama – and the replaying of familiar stories.

In A Question of Leadership, Keith Leslie provides a wide range of illustrative case studies derived from both research and his first-hand experience in the public and private sectors. Each chapter first provides an engaging narrative that presents a relatable leadership dilemma, before an analysis of what works and when (often reaching seemingly counterintuitive solutions), followed by a selection of research which supports this thesis and, finally, actionable advice for leaders who find themselves in comparable circumstances (or may do so in the future). » Order your copy today!
