Feature Favourites of 2016
At Huddle, we write about more than just businesses, we also love to explore bigger topics that impact business in New Brunswick and beyond.
Here are some of our favourite feature stories we wrote in 2016:
1) The Power (and Challenges) of Atlantic Canada’s Women Tech Founders
We explored some of the advantages and challenges of being a female tech executive in the region.
2) Is the Maritimes Struggling with Sales?
The region is bustling with people creating brilliant products and services, but there’s a lack of people who can sell them on an international scale.
We explore why that is and what we can do about it.
3) The Modern Maternity Leave: What Does it Really Mean to Have it All?
There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about how women can “have it all.” They can have both a career and a family without sacrificing one thing for another.
Turns out, many women find achieving that a little more complicated. We spoke with three women, who constantly balance their careers with a healthy home life, about what worked best for them.
4) Investigating New Brunswick’s Tech Skills Shortage
It’s no secret that the technology and ICT sectors are rapidly growing. However, many are concerned that we won’t have enough skilled workers to fill them positions in the fields.
We take a look at what this means in New Brunswick.
5) Finding Reputable Tradespeople: Is it Still About Word of Mouth?
We look at how the Internet has impacted how we find and hire tradespeople. Are recommendations from friends the best way to go? Or has social media offered a better solution?
