Cannabis HR Council

We are always happy to partner with visionary Partners such as Cannaware ! I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday!

Today, the Cannabis HR Council’s CEO, Scheril Murray Powell, Esq., and COO, John Calloway Jr, co-led a discussion that was impactful and innovative on HR strategies and tools for business success in the cannabis industry. They emphasized the importance of each step in the employee lifecycle. This event was part of the Maryland Cannabis Administration’s Ancillary Business and Workforce Development Conference, sponsored by the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, Maryland Legislative Latino Caucus, and Cannabis HR Council held at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. The conference connects businesses and workers, offering in-depth insights into crucial areas such as funding, taxation, and training programs tailored for the cannabis sector. Thank you for the collaboration, Kara Hunt, Chief Enterprise Officer of the Maryland Cannabis Administration.

In the ever-evolving cannabis industry, where innovation and growth are constants, the true differentiator of success lies within our people. The Cannabis HR Council recognizes the pivotal role that each employee plays in shaping the future of cannabis, from cultivation to customer service, research to retail. As we navigate through regulatory changes, market expansions, and societal shifts, it's our dedicated workforce that keeps us grounded and thriving. It’s time we shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of our industry. Employee appreciation is not just an annual event; it's a daily commitment to acknowledge the hard work, resilience, and creativity of our teams. It’s about fostering an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and integral to our collective mission. Question: Why does employee engagement matter??? In a sector as dynamic and scrutinized as ours, the well-being and motivation of our employees is critical to maintain engaged, customer focused, and profitable businesses. They are not just employees; they are ambassadors of cannabis, advocates for its benefits, and pioneers in a field that is still defining itself. Question: How do you take action?? Implement continuous learning opportunities. Encourage open, transparent two-way communications. Provide platforms for employees to share their ideas and innovations. Recognize individual and team achievements in meaningful ways. ? As we continue to break barriers and set new standards, let’s also lead the way in employee appreciation. Let’s create a culture that reflects the values of our industry: inclusion, innovation, and growth. The Cannabis HR Council is committed to supporting our members in developing and sharing best practices in employee appreciation. We believe that by investing in our people, we are investing in the future of cannabis. Ready to elevate your employee appreciation strategies?
