HRPA is a Certified Living Wage Employer.
The Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) is the professional regulatory association for the HR profession in Ontario. Our purpose is to protect and promote the public interest by governing and regulating the HR practice of our members, and ensuring our members and students have the most up-to-date tools and the advanced skills to lead workplaces into the future. Being a certified Living Wage Employer is a signal to our HRPA members, business leaders, and all organizations of our commitment to be a leader in workplace issues and HR practices. At the HRPA, we believe that better HR makes business better, and committing to living wages for all workers contributes to inclusive and equitable pay practices for everyone’s benefit.

“At HRPA, the leaders really take the time to listen, understand and – most importantly – act on any question I have. Many times, my Director has helped me to resolve an issue or answer my question. I am proud to say I work for HRPA and blessed to have such an amazing team. I cannot imagine myself working anywhere else!
