HRMAM's Premiere Event

Designed to showcase outstanding Human Resource achievements in Manitoba, HRMAM's HR Excellence Awards honour employers and individuals who are leaders in diversity, development, impact and innovation. Eight Business Excellence Awards and five Professional Excellence Awards will be up for grabs this year and we look forward to celebrating the successes of all nominees with you. Don't miss out on your chance to celebrate with your colleagues at this year's HR Excellence Awards!

Is someone from your workplace up for nomination? Why not purchase a table of 8 or 10 to celebrate their accomplishments? Or even better, sponsor your corporate table to receive your company's name on the table, preferred table location, your company's name on our dinner slideshow and recognition in the event program.
