Evaluation of Human Resource Efficiency Components in Northwood Care Employees Based on the ACHIEVE Model

The evaluation at Northwood Care, using the ACHIEVE model, aims to determine what factors make employees efficient. This model assesses seven key elements: Ability, Clarity, Help, Incentive, Evaluation, Validity, and Environment. Managers use it to identify and address performance issues affecting employee efficiency. The evaluation is crucial because employees are a significant driver of organizational […]

Geomechanical characterization of using basalt fiber-treated clay soils for improving ground resilience against freeze-thaw actions

The degradation of soil under freeze-thaw cycles will pose a major threat to newly constructed infrastructure in cold regions. The soil ground forms an essential part of the built environment, thus actions should be taken to improve the ground’s resilience. We are collaborating with our industry partner SFTec Inc. to propose a sustainable value-added strategy […]

Process development and pilot scale validation of the commercial scale rubber recycling process using an efficient novel devulcanizing agent

The “Be Tire Smart” campaign of the Canadian government and The Rubber Association of Canada strongly encourages the four R (reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover) principles to deal with the scrap tire problem in Canada. The constantly developing automotive industry and the growing number of vehicles generate massive tire demand while the management and recycling […]

Traitement des matériaux de gypse

Ce nouveau stage propose de tester la faisabilité sur le terrain des méthodes expérimentées au laboratoire par la mise en place d’essais pilotes sur les sites d’enfouissement. On testera également la méthode qui consiste à recouvrir les sites d’enfouissement par des matériaux de recouvrement. Cette technique peut s’avérer très efficace du fait qu’elle regroupe l’ensemble […]
