MONTRÉAL, March 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- illuxi Intelligence is proud to announce a partnership with two lawyers from the Fasken firm specialized in the impact of cannabis on the workplace. With the coming into force of the federal Cannabis Act and the Quebec government’s Cannabis Regulation Act, companies must now inform their executives, senior managers and employees about various aspects of this new issue. This simulation is divided in two sections: Employees and Employers.
illuxi’s workshops are interactive and immersive simulations aimed at private and public sector executives, senior managers and employees, as well as members of professional orders or associations.
The simulations are presented as interactive movies called “experiences,” whose narratives adapt to participants’ individual progress. Participants answer questions, interact with the movie and make decisions related to the workshop theme.
These online experiences drastically reduce the overall time spent on training, while enhancing its efficiency through participants’ active involvement. In some cases, the approach also allows participants to benefit from Mtres Perreault and Wagner’s expertise through more traditional workshops.
“Working with experts like Mtres Perreault and Wagner gives us a competitive edge as far as content goes,” illuxi president and founder Geneviève Desautels explained enthusiastically. “Our training experiences turn managers, employees and executives into active players rather than the mere spectators they usually are in traditional workshops. Moreover, our participants provide us with important information about themselves so that we can cater follow-up to their needs. Developed in Quebec by a talented team, this innovative and relevant product runs on our own proprietary platform.”
“We’re able to create high-quality simulations relatively quickly thanks to the participation of recognized experts on each theme, at the extremely competitive price of 100$ per person. The simulation on the impact of cannabis on the workplace is a shining example of this,” said Marc-André Lanciault, illuxi’s vice president and chief technology officer.
“I’m pleased to be associated with illuxi’s mission with respect to the unique issue of the arrival of cannabis on the legal market because I do think the topic needs to be addressed in a novel way,” said Charles Wagner. “Given today’s complex and ever-evolving workplaces, interacting with and mastering customized learning represents a very exciting and promising opportunity,” added Rhéaume Perreault.
