Recognizing your staff is the best way to keep them motivated, so be sure to take part in "Employee Recognition Week"!

This week's recognition tip: Personally thank employes for doing a good job - one-on-one, in writing, or both. Do it in a meaningful way, often, and with sincerity.

Attention Chamber Members!

We are happy to announce a new registration process for the 2007/08 Whistler Spirit Program.

Here’s a highlight of some of the changes:

• All Whistler Chamber Members wishing to participate in the Spirit Program are required to have a valid Whistler business license.
  
  
• Businesses that do not have a Whistler business license, but who have employees working in Whistler a minimum of 20 hours per week for the duration of the 2007/08 winter season, will be able to download and submit a Spirit Request Form for each employee. This form will be reviewed and approved on a case by case basis.  Click here to access the Spirit Request Form.
  
  
• Your company will have access to an improved Spirit Admin Section where you will be able to monitor all of your Spirit employees, including status of registration and workshop date.
  
  
• Registration is employee-driven this year! Employees will need to visit www.whistlerchamber.com and request to join the Spirit Program as an employee of your company. They will fill out all of their details so there’s no need for you to collect birthdays and emails. You will then be able to approve or not approve these employees in your new Spirit Admin section.
  
  
• Workshops will only be available in November, December and January. Help us ensure your staff members don’t miss their scheduled workshops. If the course is not taken by January 15, your employee will not be able to use his/her Spirit Pass. Only new staff who arrive to the Resort after this date, will be given the opportunity to join the program.
