Pomerleau is the first company in the world to welcome Spot the robot to its sites!
Innovation
On April 25 and 26, the LAB Pomerleau (formerly called “Sommet sur la gestion”) brought together nearly 1,000 employees in Montreal, from coast to coast. They were able to attend several conferences, given by passionate and fascinating experts. These speakers were both internal and external.
The first LAB conference took the form of a panel, made up of members of the management team, who were able to discuss their expertise and the positive outlook for the future market.
The projects are getting bigger and bigger and bigger, combined with a historically low unemployment rate. These projects require financial capacity and a solid service infrastructure. Pomerleau owns both.
The Pomerleau executive team also spoke about the many growth opportunities in Canada.
The market is buoyant in Montreal, but also across Canada. To face it, we must have access to the best resources, create partnerships with our customers, but also with specialized partners and suppliers.
But who says "growth" also says "recruiting the best talent". The Talent, Culture, and Leadership team explained the strategies it was putting forward to hire new talents in a context of full employment. It must also recruit as far as Europe to fill the vacant positions!
The vision of our Talent, Culture, and Leadership department is to create the best team in the industry and for everyone to experience our culture, which we call the Pomerleau way. We will support them at every stage of their career so that they can reach their full potential.
The opportunity was ideal to present our new training center, PX3, which will be launched shortly, in order to propel the growth of our talents to another level. With such an initiative, we want to continue our efforts to ensure that our employees take full advantage of our corporate culture.
We are not only setting up a training center, but a whole learning ecosystem with a multitude of initiatives. We want to support our employees, from their first day with us, by training and mentoring them.
Among the invited panelists, we found 3 models of leadership, resilience and tenacity: sailor Mylène Paquette, former submarine captain David Marquet and former Olympic swimmer Mark Tewksbury. They joined the internal speakers to talk about surpassing oneself, innovation, confidence and ethics. For 2 days, the members of the large Pomerleau family were able to make stimulating discoveries that led to lively discussions.
For a third edition, the event, thanks to the support and collaboration of its partners, has reached Level 3 of the responsible event management standard of the Bureau de normalization du Québec.
The BNQ 9700-253 Standard allows organizers as well as service providers and participants to reduce events imprint on the natural and human environment and increase their economic benefits and social.
The LAB Pomerleau 2019 allowed our large family to be inspired and discover new innovative practices to surpass themselves. In this way, we can work to prepare for the future to go further, all together.
We thank all the speakers and participants in this stimulating event.
