Calling all innovative HR professionals

Canada’s leading HR figures are being asked to nominate themselves – or others – who are driving innovation across the industry.

In recent years, Canadian businesses have begun recognizing the true value of a strategic HR function and the country has proved itself to be a world-leader in the field – but it’s the individuals and innovative teams within each organization which makes this status possible.

Now, those forward-thinkers are being encouraged to nominate themselves – or others – for the 2016 Canadian HR Awards – an internationally-recognized event which will honour the best and brightest of the industry.
