ORANGEVILLE, ON, March 19, 2014 /CNW/ - The Grounds Guys will appear on W Network's series Be the Boss Canada from the award-winning production team behind Undercover Boss Canada. The episode premieres Thursday, April 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on W Network.
Be The Boss Canada features two employees from The Grounds Guys in head-to-head challenges for a life-changing job promotion. With higher stakes and more drama than ever, the pressure is on as two equally-deserving employees try to balance diplomacy and competitiveness in a series of challenges to win a huge promotion. The participants take part in a week-long job interview for what each believes is a chance for a promotion, with enticing pay and perks. As those employees battle to be the best and out-perform each other, if one truly excels, they will be in for the surprise of their life: they will get handed the keys to run their very own franchise, making the jump from employee to business owner.
