Boyden's Jim Harmon joins as expert speaker at FPC's Annual Conference

Boyden's Jim Harmon joins Food Producers of Canada's Annual Conference and will address its Board and delegates on growth and value creation amid talent scarcity.

"The shortage of talent in Canada has had most Canadian businesses questioning their ability to function, much less enhance shareholder value or improve M&A multiples. While we can’t manufacture smart and skilled people, we can rethink how we approach talent attraction – and capture the potential of those already working in our organizations. This discussion will focus on how to prioritize on what talent/when, and on reimagining succession planning, knowledge transfer, job competencies & qualifications, and broadening how we need to define diversity. " - Jim Harmon, Managing Partner, Boyden Canada

Since 1989, Food Producers of Canada (FPC) has been an advocate for, and consultant to food producers, helping them sustain conditions that keep nutritious, locally made, and competitively priced food available for Canadians. As a leading national voice of the Canadian food and beverage industry, they stand by the critical importance of food sovereignty, farming sustainability, home - based Canadian production, and continuous innovation, as well as, environmentally responsible packaging and sustainable distribution.

The COVID-19 pandemic has re-enforced the importance of the food system in Canada, and that collaboration with other links in the food chain, from primary producers to consumers, is necessary to protect the safety and reliability of our food supply. They continue to work across the many agricultural groups, industry partners, government agencies and officials, and our retail partners to represent our vital contribution to Canada’s local and sustainable food production.

FPC promotes the significance and contribution food manufactures make to the economy and to the daily lives of Canadians. Their independent, Canadian perspective is vital to ensuring their ability to compete effectively domestically and on the global stage. FPC will proudly continue its long-standing tradition of representing Canadian food-based businesses.
