Launch of Private Couples Retreat for Executives in Canada
On October 1, 2011, Inner Sync Systems Inc. launched the “Between Men and Women” private couples’ relationship retreat for executives whose marriages may be stressed by their hectic lifestyle as well as by ongoing uncertainty in the broader economic and business environment.
“Making a marriage work today is as difficult as it has ever been,” said Jason Krausert, CEO of ISSI, citing a 43.1% divorce rate in Canada.
“Executives and other high-performing individuals, however, have a unique lifestyle that places unique pressures on them and the people closest to them, especially their spouse,” Krausert added.
Corporate executives and senior managers have a wider range of day-to-day responsibilities than the population in general. They travel more frequently, they generally work longer hours, and they are always on call. As with most people today, “down time” with the family is at a premium. All of this limits the time they can spend with their partner and increases the strain on that key relationship.
In addition to these lifestyle issues, crushing recessionary pressures of recent years have forced executives to manage their businesses in a stress-elevated environment characterized by intense competition, downsizing and slashed operating budgets.
