HRmatters is HRMAM's biannual magazine, providing our readers with information on leading HR practices, professional trends and industry updates. To make this happen, we rely on article submissions from our readers and those with specialized knowledge of the human resource industry. 

We are currently seeking article submissions for our Spring 2016 issue. The theme of this issue centres around 'Leadership at Work.' In the Fall of 2015 HRMAM began the conversation about promoting CHRPs (Certified Human Resource Professionals) as leaders in the workplace. We will continue this theme in the spring issue of HRmatters. HR demonstrated leadership everyday, in the creation of systems that allow individuals and teams to shine. HR professionals are leaders in ensuring the health and safety of people as they go about their daily work. They exemplify leadership in their ethical, professional dealings in sometimes challenging personal situations. They also help to create a culture of leadership in their workplaces through their actions and examples. Please keep this in mind when considering your submission and attempt to relate your content to this theme.

Articles published in HRmatters are eligible for CHRP Continuing Professional Development hours.

Deadline for submissions is March 11, 2016
