​Leadership Studio: An Urban Burnout Retreat

​Where Profit, People & Planet Align

​📅 Monday, October 6, 2025 | 🕐 1–5 PM
📍 Arcadia Earth, Toronto
✨ Official Partner of Toronto Climate Week

​ABOUT PEOPLE OPS COLLECTIVE

​People Ops is the operating system for the human side of business, where culture, leadership, and workforce realities align. It’s more than HR: it’s about anticipating change, putting wellbeing first, and turning resilience into performance.

​People Ops Collective brings this to life. We connect leaders, industries, and communities to co-create solutions that save money, strengthen culture, and prepare organizations for what’s next, so profit, people, and planet move in sync.

​Why This Matters

​Workforce pressures are at a breaking point:

• ​$50B/year lost to mental health–related productivity (MHCC)

• ​2–3x longer recovery for mental vs. physical leaves (Deloitte)

• ​$23T global climate disruption cost projected by 2050 (World Bank)

​The solution isn’t siloed programs, it’s community-level leadership, shared tools, and new partnerships.

​What You’ll Experience

​This isn’t a conference. It’s an urban retreat mixed with thought leadership set inside Arcadia Earth’s immersive exhibits, designed to reset nervous systems, strengthen leadership capacity, and spark cross-industry collaboration.
