HR Toolkit for Independent Grocers is out!

Just a small announcement. Clark Reed, our HR expert, created a masterful HR toolkit for independent grocers over the past year. I was only peripherally involved in this project, but it was interesting to be involved in something that is not traditionally considered part of arts & culture.

Of course, when it comes down to it, nothing has a greater dominion over culture than food-- what we eat & where it comes from. The big Canadian grocers (IGA, Loblaws, Sobeys, etc) generally have HR in-house, but I was pleased to see that for these independents, this toolkit will be very useful.

The grocers were also lovely people who do not mince words! They approved everything Clark showed them, had a few suggestions about how to improve it, and generally thought it was very timely for the CFIC (Canadian Food Industry Council) to do.
