Find and Keep Great People … and Achieve Excellence in Your Field!

The most significant factor in Aquila’s achievement of excellence has been its dynamic, cohesive team. Now you can learn the secrets of Aquila’s success and apply them to your business with Aquila’s Team Excellence Program.

The Reality
Across the country, employers are suffering from a steady decline in the skilled workforce. If methods are not put in place to ensure employee retention, businesses will be faced with difficult decisions, including possible closures as they struggle to find enough qualified people to keep operating.

The Vision
Through Aquila’s Team Excellence Program, leaders of small to medium-sized enterprises will learn strategies to not only retain their employees, but to have a happy team that has fun at work while contributing to the company’s growth and increased profitability.

The Program
This is an exclusive, customized training and coaching program. It will follow the model for Aquila’s success and apply it to your small to medium-sized enterprise, while at the same time considering the unique circumstances of your business. Coached by senior members of the Aquila team, you will be guided through the process and find strategies and solutions that work for your unique situation.

The Benefits
Customized for your organization, your program will coach you on ways to take actions that will positively impact your business and your employees, from performance to profits. Topics that will be discussed include finding people that fit your culture, keeping the great people that you find, and empowering your people to increase profits and success for your business, while you all have fun at work! Assessments, reports on findings and opportunities, and one-on-one coaching sessions are just a sample of what you will receive.

The Trainer
For over 25 years, Aquila has been on a remarkable journey. While its business has evolved considerably over the years, its team has often been the envy of other business owners. With a remarkable retention rate, including 50% of employees who have been with the team 10 years or more, Aquila has mastered the art of finding and keeping great people by fostering a philosophy of happiness in the workplace and empowerment of the team. The contagious Aquila team spirit that has resulted from this philosophy is the driving force behind its success, and their unique team approach has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades, including the Tourism Industry Association of Canada’s National Award for Excellence in Human Resource Development in 2005.
