PEI Cannabis Management Corporation - 2019 Annual Report

Engagement • The inaugural PEI Cannabis workforce participated in a four-week training program and retail trade show to ensure maximum engagement was achieved prior to launch. • PEI Cannabis has a great team of retail managers that were highly engaged in developing the corporation’s operational framework pre-launch, and are very effective coaches and mentors. Professional Success • The low rate of staff turnover over year one is interpreted to be a good sign of a satisfied workforce that continues to value PEI Cannabis as a professional opportunity. • Through early union consultation, PEI Cannabis ensured its new employees were subsumed in the bargaining unit, and received all professional benefits under the collective agreement. KEY OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES: 1. There are currently no tools in place for PEI Cannabis to measure, evaluate, and improve employee engagement and satisfaction. 2. PEI Cannabis must mitigate absenteeism due to injury or illness through effective disability management so it can preserve the leanness of its operations and the health of its employees. 3. PEI Cannabis must continuously provide staff with educational support and growth opportunities to ensure a flexible, scalable, and engaged workforce.
