WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim Hortons - just the beginning of this sort of behaviour in Canada where manager (s) are acting a bit overzealously (http://www%20.theglobe%20and%20mail/. com/servlet/ story/RTGAM. 20080507 .wt im bit0507/ CommentStory /National/home/). Perhaps there may be another side to this story, the managers side, however,

Universities, Superstore, Canadian Tire, the police force the Energy Sector are just a few sectors that are bringing foreign workers into Canada without thought about the ramifications of bringing workers (executive staff or lower rank employees) without the proper orientation into Canadian culture.

'So called' Canadian companies are now hiring (in an uncontrollable manner) mangers and senior staff from the United States.

(Calgary has 10% UK bobbys- “But now that expat officers account for roughly 10 per cent of Calgary's police service, forces in the provinces want to slow down foreign recruiting programs and instead redouble efforts to find more home-grown…………..”talent(http://www.thesudburystar/ .com/ Article Display .aspx?e=974170Alberta flooded with bobbys; Calgary, Edmonton look to England to solve police shortage)

PLEASE NOTE CEOs, BOARD MEMEBERS AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE, THAT OUR CULTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE US, UK for example. PLEASE TRAIN, EDUCATE AND TAKE THE TIME TO RECRUIT WITH CARE.

Please remember that good governance can prevent ‘value’ destruction.
