"Winning the FCPHR award was incredible honour for me as well as a career milestone. I have always believed that Human Resources plays a critical role in organizations and am passionate about getting us a permanent seat at the table. The FCPHR designation means that I have been successful in continuing to use my voice to elevate and bring awareness to the profession."

Marino Giancarlo, FCPHR


"I was honoured and humbled to be recognized as a FCPHR. I became involved at the ground level to establish our HR profession to be recognized with a professional designation. This was our Vision. I was passionate that our profession be elevated to a professional status so that we could be involved at the strategic level and in boardrooms of an organization and in the business community. I am extremely proud of all the hard work and dedication  by so many of my colleagues that allowed us to be recognized as a profession. This was a proud achievement and milestone of our profession. Our work is not done, our profession will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our organization, business partners and the clients we serve. A CPHR professional designation will help us meet the challenges and opportunities down the road. It's a journey, not a destination!"
