Sun Peaks Resort/Sun Peaks Grand Hotel employ over 200 team members and another 600+ seasonal team members during the winter ski season. Employee feedback is an integral part of understanding what’s working well and where improvements or changes need to happen, and the action planning to support. Recent efforts have focused on: 

• Enabling leaders to inspire with intention, based on refreshed company values and a robust leadership development program.
• Further enhancing the experience for new hires, to ensure they are set up for success.
