Canadian HR Awards 2020: Who will you nominate?

As we continue to navigate the uncertain waters of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever before to keep morale up.

Recognizing individuals who continue to make a substantial impact on your day-to-day life is essential – which is why HRD Canada is retuning once again with our annual Canadian HR Awards.

Now in its 7th year, the annual Canadian HR Awards is the leading independent awards celebrating excellence in the HR profession across the nation.

The awards showcase the outstanding HR teams, leaders and employers for their achievements, innovation, and exceptional HR practices.

“It feels amazing to have won!” added Jamie Hoobanoff, founder of The Leadership Agency and winner of HRD Readers’ Choice Award for Best Service Provider (fewer than 100 staff), exclaimed at las year’s awards.

“The truth is that this category means so much in Canada right now. Small service providers are so important in North America – and so having the voice in HR, providing amazing service within this line of business, is crucial. To be recognized as being great in this way means a lot to us at The Leadership Agency.”
