Description: 
Building capacity when skilled talent is hard to find, expectations are changing across generations, and engagement needs to be practical and measurable.
 
Short description (newsletter-ready):
Canada’s workforce is changing quickly. Skilled talent is harder to find, expectations of work have shifted, and “engagement” is often misunderstood. In this practical and engaging breakfast keynote, Eddie LeMoine explores what’s driving today’s capacity challenges, what HR and leaders can influence (and what they can’t), and the realistic actions that improve attraction, retention, and performance. Participants will leave with clear takeaways they can apply immediately and a stronger sense of confidence about what’s possible in 2026.
 
A few takeaways participants can expect:
 
  • What’s really behind the “skills vs. labour” challenge and what it means for NB employers
  • Why engagement isn’t about surface-level initiatives, and what actually drives commitment and performance at work
  • Why people join, stay, and leave in 2026, and how leaders can respond without overcomplicating things
  • Practical ways to build capacity through better communication, clarity, and leadership habits
  • How generational expectations are showing up at work, and how to lead without stereotypes
