An automation lab space at 1785 Walker Road will allow us to expand our knowledge and improve the efficacy of our solutions – ultimately resulting in increased business, more jobs and future local investments.
Training
Like any other technology-based company, we are constantly challenged with the ever-increasing demands of North America’s leading manufacturers. To address their tough technical challenges and meet their tight timelines, our customers demand the best engineered solutions and the highest quality delivery.
The training and development of our employees is essential to Brave delivering on our core values of “Engineering Excellence” and “High Performance Delivery”. Our multi-modal training program for employees typically includes a combination of technical and non-technical learning. Due to the limited space in our current location, our in-house training curriculum is limited to online learning and lunch & learn presentations for smaller groups. Generally, our employees must travel out of town for any in-depth hands-on technical training.
With lab space and light manufacturing occurring on site, 1785 Walker Road provides our employees with more practical and convenient methods of gaining new the new knowledge and new skills Brave needs to remain competitive and continue growing
Talent Acquisition & Retention
Building and maintaining a team of highly skilled employees with the depth and breadth of expertise Brave requires is a non-stop task. We take great pride in our role as a community booster as we continually represent and promote the amazing work/life opportunities Windsor/Essex region has to offer.
More and more we are recruiting from outside the region while we work hard to retain employees – in a highly competitive industry.
Having the right physical space with amenities deemed suitable by today’s workforce is an important factor in attracting and keeping top talent. Plans for the new office space are based on an employee-centric approach with a mix of features comparable to other high-tech firms in Southwest Ontario, the GTA or beyond.
A modernized IT infrastructure, upgraded cafeteria and washrooms, high-end personal workspaces, top-notch meeting rooms an automation lab – the new facility at 1785 Walker Road promises to be a first-class office environment, one that will help us bolster our already strong local talent during the next phase of our growth.
The City of Windsor’s Economic Revitalization Community Improvement Plan grant application has been a major factor in our decision-making process. If approved, the grant’s relief would allow Brave to realize Option #3, continue expanding in Windsor while contributing to the City’s high-tech job growth.
