An important note from Collen Clark - Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. HAVE YOU LAID OFF EMPLOYEES DUE TO COVID-19? Many employers in BC might need more time before they are ready to recall employees laid off due to COVID-19.... If you expect your business will have temporary layoffs longer than 24 weeks on August 30, you need to apply to the Employment Standards Branch to further extend the layoff. You must apply by Aug. 25 for the extension. Failure to apply will constitute termination of inactive employees, and you will need to pay severance.

This is my first consulting client. In the 20 years since John has diversified beyond Artex Manufacturing into some very interesting agricultural companies. That's the Rock Solid effect. Click the pic to see the short video.

I have shared this before. Ive quoted it numerous times. But its always worth sharing again.

As predicted by your Rock Solid Coach in April The good news is that the recovery is clearly underway and, if it is sustained, this recession will be the shortest on record, just two months from peak to trough. Policy-makers should begin thinking of ways to keep recovery going rather than focusing only on bridging people and businesses through the crisis while keeping in the back of their minds the real possibility of economic backtracking. People have faced many hardships... as a result of the deepest recession since the Second World War in terms of the fall in GDP from peak to trough. Understanding where we sit in the business cycle is important for policy-makers as they navigate an uncertain recovery. The news lately has been encouraging. Lets do our best to ensure it stays that way. This is all dependent on avoiding the second wave.

This is a great series. You can see all of them here. https://anchorpacificgroup.com/webinar-its-time-business-s/
