| Summary: | There’s no question, we live in an exciting, fast-paced time. But, very often, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information we are bombarded with daily. In the workplace, we’re fed analytics - sales figures, client data, monthly targets, growth projections, etc. etc. And, let’s not forget all the information we’re consuming as part of our social interconnectedness. Between our social feeds, data feeds and feeding the kids, we can be torn between Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)! It is within this environment of information overload, that the 1000 Islands Region Workforce Development Board decided to re-introduce their 2013 newsletter. Why? Why become just another source of information? The answer is simple. We believe that by gathering together information from a variety of sources, we are offering educators, employment counsellors, economic developers, labour and the business community with a single source of locally important information that is substantiated, analyzed and summarized into one easily accessible source delivered directly to your inbox. |
