V
ox populi, vox dei. at's old Latin, but it essentially translates as
"the voice of the people is the voice of God." Often trotted out in
the more secular realm of democratic elections, it can also apply
to the Canadian HR Reporter Readers' Choice Awards.
Simply put, our readers can never be wrong. ey vote with their
eyeballs on the content our editorial team works so hard to produce.
ey vote with their wallets — well, more likely the corporate piggy
bank — when it comes to purchasing products and services.
And now, for the third year in a row, they have voted on their
favourite HR suppliers in the annual Readers' Choice competition. We
were overwhelmed by the popularity of this year's contest, as nearly
3,000 professionals took time to cast more than 65,000 votes.
A big thanks goes to our loyal readers for taking time out of their
hectic schedules. is unprecedented level of engagement adds even
more cachet and bragging rights for the winning fi rms. After all, these
companies weren't chosen by a handful of judges behind a closed door.
Instead, we set up an online survey and sent an invitation to our
audience to vote — to tell us the companies they like doing business
with and the ones that provide really good value. is special section
is designed to be used by you, our readers, as a cheat sheet. It's like
having a window into the offi ces of your colleagues at organizations
across the country.
When you're looking for a service provider, look for the Readers'
Choice seal. It's not an endorsement from the editor's of Canadian
HR Reporter — it's something far better. It's a seal of approval from
your colleagues.
In this special 20-page section, you will see all of the winners listed
and celebrated. is section is also available as a digital edition that you
can peruse throughout the year and share with colleagues. Visit www.
