New partnerships, new products as we evolve and grow with the human resources profession
Over the last year, Canadian HR Reporter has undertaken a number of critical changes and made investments to bring HR professionals and employers the news and information they need, in whatever format they want.
We completely revamped and updated our website — www.hrreporter.com — adding more daily news content and multimedia elements such as videos and webinars. We ensured it was mobile-friendly, so you could browse on your smartphone or tablet.
We struck an innovative partnership with the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA), to give its 23,000 HR professionals a sample of our content and have renewed it for the coming year.
We’re excited to announce a similar partnership for 2018 with the Chartered Professionals in Human Resources (CPHR) so that every HR association member in British Columbia, Alberta and the Territories will receive four sample issues — that’s another 11,600 readers on top of our normal national distribution.
Canadian HR Reporter has also paid close attention to the feedback you’ve given us over the years, and with that in mind, we have some important news to share — starting in 2018, we are moving to a monthly publishing schedule.
This is not your typical media story of shrinking readership and cost-cutting. As the profession grows, the readership of Canadian HR Reporter has also grown, and the support from our advertisers and sponsors continues to be stronger.
We’re investing in more robust workplace issues, and our reporters and editors will be taking deeper dives into the topics you care most about 12 times per year. As a result, you’ll see more content in the print and digital editions.
We also know you value currency in addition to in-depth features. That’s why we’re excited to announce Canadian HR Reporter WEEKLY. Every Wednesday, paid subscribers will receive an exclusive email with original content containing a link to a special four-page digital edition.
The end result is more news and information from our award-winning editorial team than ever before.
Important: To ensure you get this content, we need your email address. You can go online to www.hrreporter.com/onlineaccess to update your email and password — or to enter your email address if you’ve haven’t done so already. This also gives you access to our online archive featuring tens of thousands of articles from past issues.
We’re excited about the changes. It’s an extraordinary evolution and evidence of how strongly Thomson Reuters and Canadian HR Reporter are committed to growing with the HR profession. Launched in 1987, we’ve been the voice of the profession for the last three decades.
We’re committed to playing an even stronger role in the decades to come.
2017 National HR Awards
I had the honour of hosting the National HR Awards at the Arcadian Court in downtown Toronto on Oct. 24.
While this is the third year for the awards, it is the first time we gathered the winners to celebrate. More than 100 HR professionals from across Canada — including Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal ant Ottawa — were on hand to see the hardware handed out. It was an amazing night where we were able to briefly tell the stories of the winners with videos.
Now, beginning on page 13 of this issue, you can read in-depth profiles about some of the best HR practices in the country.
At Canadian HR Reporter and Thomson Reuters, we are incredibly proud of these awards. We put a lot of effort into telling the stories — from flying our videographers across the country to dedicating one full page of space to tell the story of each winner.
It was fun to celebrate in person, a new tradition that will continue in 2018. But the real value to our readers is sharing these stories and giving you insight into the work of Canada’s top HR departments.
We hope you enjoy them.
