Play with the Presidents is the Chamber’s annual golf tournament, which brings together more than 50 of the city’s top CEOs and presidents, as well as 180 business leaders from Calgary’s top companies. It has been a staple of the business golfing calendar for more than a decade and remains a great way to gain valuable exposure to the who’s who of Calgary’s business community to build your network, meet new partners and clients and increase awareness of your business.

Creating the highest level of productivity is the goal of all employers. Unfortunately, unplanned employee absences can have a big impact on an organization’s productivity.
Assuming an organization can effectively backfill a position through a replacement worker or the overtime work of other employees, the cost to the employer of an unplanned absence of just four days is nearly two per cent of the absent employee’s annual compensation. And with replacement workers, there is also the risk of not fulfilling the customer’s expectations for products and service delivery.
Discover what three strategies employers can use to manage unplanned employee absences.
