Is employeestress costingyour business?By Angela Rai

Would you like to cut costs to your business?Would you like to increase productivity andemployee loyalty? Would you like to decreaseemployee absenteeism and staff turnover?

A major Canadian study sponsoredby Health Canada involving over 31,000participants in the private, public, and non-profits sectors indicates that employeesare more stressed than ever before andit is costing us billions of dollars annually.Absenteeism alone is reported to havedirect costs of approximately $3 billionannually with estimates of an additional$1.5 to $3 billion worth of indirect costs,according to the study authored in partby noted organizational health pioneer, Dr.Linda Duxbury. When we factor in the costsof various medical services to treat thestress-related illnesses of these overloadedindividuals, we add another $5 billion tothe equation.

Twomajorsuccesses formembers of theBurnaby BoardofTradeBy Michael [email protected]

At the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’sannual general meeting (AGM), held Sept.27 to 29, 2014 in Charlottetown, P.E.I., theBurnaby Board of Trade, on behalf of itsmembers, submitted two resolutions and co-

sponsored a third.The first, entitled Senior Global Talent

for Key Canadian Industries, dealt withthe issue of a skilled workers shortagebeing the number one barrier to Canada’seconomic competiveness. The resolutionrecommends modifications to the TemporaryForeign Worker program to enable Canadianbusinesses to more easily source seniorexpertise not otherwise available locally.

The Burnaby Board of Trade also co-sponsored a resolution submitted by theRichmond Chamber of Commerce, entitledProtecting the National Economy byManaging the Lower Fraser River, whichrecommends specific steps to ensure thecontinuous flow of commerce to and fromthe Asia-Pacific market, and to ensure thesustainability of the Lower Fraser River.

We are pleased to report that both theSenior Global Talent and Lower Fraser River

issues are also of importance to the CanadianChamber of Commerce and its networkof chambers of commerce and boards oftrade across Canada. At the AGM, bothresolutions were approved by the CanadianChamber’s members, representing 200,000Canadian businesses. These resolutions arenow formal policy positions of the CanadianChamber and will be pursued with the federalgovernment over the coming months.

A third resolution, although narrowlydefeated, addressed the need for a labourmarket impact assessment exemptionfor foreign workers in film and televisionproduction occupations. The issue remainsa major concern for the Burnaby Boardof Trade, who will continue to advocatestrongly to protect BC and Canada’s film andtelevision industry from the negative impactsof recent federal regulation changes.¾

These stressed out employees arereporting being overloaded by work andfamily responsibilities and this work-lifeimbalance costs employers. Employeesexperiencing high overload of responsibilitiesare more likely to:

· Report higher levels of job stress andburnout

· Have higher rates of absenteeism due tostress, poor physical and mental health,or due to care responsibilities

Access Programstarting topay dividendsfor BurnabybusinesscommunityBy Michael [email protected]

New students, alumni and Connectorsalike gathered at the Burnaby campus ofElectronic Arts Canada on October 2nd towelcome the 2014/15 class of the BurnabyBoard of Trade’s Access Student CareerDevelopment Program.“It was a wonderful experience to have

this year’s students, graduates from the pasttwo years and many of our Connectors allunder the same roof to network, reconnectand celebrate with each other,” remarkedBurnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) CEO PaulHolden. “It was a great chance to properlyintroduce our new students into the program

student career development

and give them a real sense of what Access isall about.”The Access program was first launched

two years ago to help senior post secondarystudents transition into the workplace andbuild meaningful relationships with leadersin the business community. The programincludes three main components includingnetworking events and workshops. The thirdcomponent, Connectors, pairs students upwith prominent business leaders for casualone-on-one informational meetings, and isthe most unique aspect of Access accordingto Holden.“The Connectors program is really what

sets Access apart from other professionaldevelopment programs,” said Holden. “Itimproves upon the traditional mentorshipconcept in two key ways: it’s less timeconsuming for the Connector – as little asforty-five minutes – and it’s more efficient.At the end of the process students will havemade meaningful connections with severalsenior business leaders rather than just one.”And it seems to be working. Now three

years into the program, past participants arereporting back, sharing success stories, andlooking to become re-engaged with Accessand the BBOT.“Our alumni, for the most part, are doing

a great job of staying in touch with theirconnectors and referrals, and more andmore we’re hearing of past students finding

opportunities through those referrals, andreferrals of referrals,” noted the BBOT’sMarketing Manager, Tessa Vanderkop.“We are also seeing those first year

students starting to serve as Connectorsin their own right, and even consulting onfurther program development,” added AccessProgram Coordinator Ann Goncalves.Access is sponsored by three of the Lower

Mainland’s largest educational institutions;Simon Fraser University, the British ColumbiaInstitute of Technology and Douglas College.Connectors represent a myriad of Burnaby-based companies such as IBM, ElectronicArts and Pacific Blue Cross. Even the City isinvolved, with Mayor Derek Corrigan himselfplanning to participate for a third year as aConnector.The program runs from October to June.
