Fabio Centini is the owner and executive chef of Centini Restaurant & Lounge

“I became a member about 10 years ago, almost immediately after I started my restaurant. One of the reasons why I joined was to get access to the extended benefits offered through the Calgary Chamber. As a result, I was able to immediately offer my employees an extended benefit plan, which included life insurance, coverage on dental and prescription drugs, as well as travel insurance. This has been a huge help. As a small business with 30 employees, I’m always concerned about holding onto staff and some of my key people have stuck around partly because of our benefit plan. I have employees here who have been on it for nine years. There’s no question they want to hang their hat in a workplace where they are looked after and comfortable. It’s nice to be able to give that to them.”
