HR AWARDS
2018 NATIONAL
THE BEST IN HUMAN RESOURCES. That's what the
National HR Awards were created to honour, and in the
fourth year of this prestigious program, that's exactly
what has happened. We had many strong nominations
from coast to coast, and it was gratifying to see so
much passion around the work being done by HR
departments.
We're excited to tell the stories, in-depth, in this
special feature. But there is even more to our coverage
— you can see videos featuring the winners at
NationalHRAwards.com along with a photo gallery from
the celebration we held on Sept. 27 at the Ritz-Carlton
in Toronto.
A big thank you goes to our sponsors and the judges
who so graciously volunteered their time. You can see
the full list of judges and their bios on the website.
Planning is already underway for the 2019 National HR
Awards. Nominations open in May.
