Serving our Members knowledge needs
We meet the knowledge needs of our members and the public in a number of ways. We publish
HR Professional, the largest circulation HR magazine in Canada published eight times a year. Widely recognized for its editorial excellence, it is a must-read for those interested in emerging HR trends and HR best practices.
Our
Annual Conference (celebrating its 75th anniversary in February 2017) is the largest HR conference and trade show held outside the U.S. Over three days, we bring thought leaders from across the globe to inform members and the public about the most recent concepts, theories and approaches to HR practice. In plenary sessions seating over 3,000, in more than 130 seminars, and with over 250 exhibits of the newest products and services, there is nothing quite like HRPA's Annual Conference and Trade Show.
Each year HRPA's
Professional Development team develops and delivers over 300 events designed to advance the skills and capabilities of the HR professional, fom introductory programming to certification programs for professionals to exclusive events for the most senior leaders.
Finally, there's
Resource Centre, free information services for members and chargeable services for the public curated by our team of reference librarians.
