CPHR Alberta collaborates once again on the Workforce Forward Conference

April 8, 2022

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.
