CALGARY, Alberta – Chartered Professionals in Human Resources (CPHR) Alberta, a professional association dedicated to strengthening the human resources profession, is excited to announce our collaboration with Workforce Forward, a quarterly virtual conference aimed at equipping Canadian organizations with the necessary tools and strategies to grow an inclusive environment for Indigenous talent.

On June 15, 2022 - Workforce Forward will deliver a full-day event in a virtual setting that includes intimate workshops and panel discussions focused on Indigenous inclusion training, employment strategies, and hiring and retention proven practices for HR professionals and industry leaders.

Hundreds gathered at the inaugural Workforce Forward and Forward Summit events in 2019 which explored Indigenous inclusion training, employment strategies, best hiring practices and economic prosperity between Indigenous and industry thought-leaders. The learning outcomes from the two events have been combined and presented in a research report which is available to the public here.

Workforce Forward presents an opportunity for HR professionals to join the leaders in Indigenous inclusion in panels and workshops as they explore important concepts, strategies, success stories, programs, barriers and other topics related to making their place of work welcoming for Indigenous peoples. The conference qualifies for continuing professional development (CPD) hours and CPHR Alberta members will receive preferred pricing. Visit www.workforceforward.ca to register today!

“In 2021, the association set out on our own path towards reconciliation, and we encouraged our members to join us in our learnings. We saw an increase in our members taking action to support their organizations in building a more inclusive workforce through the incredible workshops and discussions available through the Workforce Forward Conference. We are honoured to once again partner with Workforce Forward and support the continued learning of our members,” says Ioana Giurca, Interim CEO of CPHR Alberta.

An Update from your Board of Directors – March 2025

March 21, 2025

As the governing voice of CPHR Alberta, the Board of Directors meet quarterly to provide oversight and guidance in several key areas. The Board, alongside CPHR Alberta operations, continues to deliver on the association's strategic priorities developed in the 2020 strategic plan. To ensure transparency between our Board of Directors, members and key stakeholders, we are sharing post-meeting messages to inform the steps taken towards advancing our profession and ensuring a financially stable association. The Board of Directors met on March 15, 2025, and the Board’s key messages are as follows: CPHR Alberta continues to advance the strategic priority to become a self-regulated association, supported by proposed amendments to Alberta's Professional Governance Act. This continues to be a priority for operations over the next year. We encourage you to join us at the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Friday, May 9, 2025, to hear more about self-regulation. The Board approved the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Based on observations from the independent auditor, the association has effective reporting and control processes in place in addition to appropriate reserves for financial sustainability. Audit financial statements will be available in the 2024 Annual Report, distributed to members alongside our AGM Notice of Meeting in April. CPHR Alberta has launched an innovative new program for senior HR leaders working in executive-level roles, speaking to how the association is elevating the reputation of CPHR's and provided targeted professional development for HR professionals working at all levels in organizations. CPHRs can apply for the Executive Program by completing our application here. CPHR Alberta has aligned with CPHR Canada to approve mutual recognition with the Chartered Institute of Professional Management (CIPM) Nigeria and CIPM Sri Lanka. Learn more about the MRA here. The next Board meeting takes place in June 2025, after which we will again share our key messages.
