Difficulty attracting employees, difficulty engaging employees, remote employees, turnover, claims, and brand damage—all are enormous challenges for every company today! Since we can’t “control” or “micro-manage” employees—nor do we really want to—best practices, engagement, and coaching are our only options!
In this fast-moving presentation, executive coach Don Phin will share strategies and tools to help you and your managers step up their engagement and performance management games by learning how to coach their direct reports.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
