It is done in conjunction with the World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA) which is an affiliation of around 90 HR associations worldwide representing over 600,000 HR professionals (www.wfpma.com).

The study aims to identify key HR priorities and understand the current challenges and opportunities that companies are facing around the globe and is the largest and most comprehensive study series in the world on people management trends in business. 

The 2014 survey is now open for participation and will investigate the latest trends in:

• HR data analytics 
• Business impact of HR
• HR target operating model
• Leadership and talent management
• Enabling high-performance HR

Additionally, the Creating People Advantage researchers are searching for the most innovative HR practices through an HR innovation competition.

An invitation to complete the survey is being sent to every member of the Canadian provincial HR Associations and you can participate by opening the link www.bcg.com/cpa2014.

Please note the close date is 15 May 2014.

There are no costs involved. We will get a tailor-made analysis of trends and priorities for Canada/North America and an advance copy of the new 2014 report when it is complete, both of which we will share with our members.
