Meet Lori-Ann Duguay the CEO of People-Powered Solutions - a company that helps organizations transform their workplace culture and attract high performing talent! After working 21 years in government in a variety of roles, she realized she had essentially become a tenant of the workplace tethered by the golden shackles of a good pension and benefits. She decided to marry her career experiences in government, as a professional coach, and as a dispute resolution practitioner with her in-depth understanding of talent management and employee engagement and start her own company to teach organizations how to bring the HUMAN back to human resources. She has even created an entire People-Powered Leadership Development Program to help leaders adopt an empowering and coaching approach that unleashes their team's full potential. We believe that by tweaking the existing employee experience to ensure it provides for the 10 workplace essential employee needs, organizations can significantly improve their employee engagement, retention rates, and ultimately, their bottom line.

Her book, the Happiness Factor-How to Create a Positive and Productive Workplace is set to launch early summer.
