Manulife’s tracked decline in employee productivity dates back to 2020, when the number of days lost to…

Continuity Planning?
Thinking back to Monday 16th March 2020 I remember getting up early. I was due to visit one of our homes in Tewkesbury. I was just about to leave the house when an email landed from a senior Director telling us all to ‘Hold’ all visits and be ready for a conference call that morning. Yes, this was the start of the ‘Lock Down’. With the benefit of insight, how ready were we for what was about to happen next?

In fact, data from BC and from other countries suggests private, for-profit surgery clinics will likely increase the true cost to taxpayers…
