Conference by L’Union des Savoirs: The freed company
Wednesday, January 10th, 2018 - 7:45pm
Have you heard of the “freed company”, where, it seems, humans would be placed in the center, where everyone almost would do what he/she wants, without control, and where holidays would be unlimited? This conference aims to distinguish myth from reality, and to present the advantages and disadvantages of such a company, as well as the ways to move towards this type of organization. Registration here.
A happy holiday season from the team of the House!
The staff of the House of Canadian Students presents you its best wishes of prosperity and happiness. We take this opportunity to thank you for your trust. Looking forward to see you at the MEC in 2018!
