But how do you preserve this unique DNA while expanding fast?

Between 2019 and 2024, Laurentide more than doubled its workforce, going from 200 to 475 employees.

In an industry where the talent shortage is glaring, the risk was clear: watching the turnover rate explode!

Yet Laurentide pulled off the challenge of growing while strengthening the loyalty and engagement of its teams.
