Self-regulation positions HR professionals as
leaders in their field
With self-regulation, the HR profession and CPHR designation
becomes stronger:
• It validates the strategic expertise CPHR designated members
provide to employers.
• Like a CPA or a lawyer, it gives members the legal authority and
the responsibility to uphold national standards in workplaces.
• For the public, employers and employees, it instills confidence
that HR professionals can lead workplaces on issues such as
Employment & Labour Standards, Occupational Health & Safety
and Human Rights Legislation, sexual harassment and bullying in
the workplace, wellness and mental health.
The provincial benefits of self-regulation
Self-regulation reflects a shared commitment to the value of
people and to our ability to improve life in our provinces through
our workplaces:
• It helps position provinces as forward-focused places to live, work
and operate a business.
• It gives employers confidence that HR practitioners are upholding
the highest standards of ethics and professional practice.
• It means employees can expect the best in HR practice, supporting
them in their workplace and their careers.
"This is a coming of age for HR in
Canada and it is truly an exciting time.
Holding the legal mandate to uphold
best practice is professionalizing our
profession and it positions Saskatchewan
as a business-focused economy."
– TJ Schmaltz, Board Chair,
CPHR Canada
"Congratulations to the current and
past Board Members, the Leadership
Team and the Members of CPHR
Saskatchewan. You've advanced the
HR profession to a whole new level
and expanded that potential for all of
CPHR Canada."
– Anthony Ariganello, President
and CEO, CPHR BC & Yukon and
CPHR Canada
