Dear CPHR Saskatchewan member,

As we navigate through this time of uncertainty, one thing is for certain, the HR profession is at the forefront and being relied on to lead organizations through these unprecedented times. CPHR Saskatchewan recognizes that you as HR professionals are being called on to provide expertise and advice with little-to-no time to plan, given the continual changes to employment standards and Government/Health Care expectations. To assist you, CPHR Saskatchewan has created a COVID 19 Resource Centre where timely articles will be available for your use and reference. This information can be found here. 

During this time, CPHR Saskatchewan will be working remotely to maintain service to our members. Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to CPHR Saskatchewan at info@cphrsk.ca. 

On behalf of the CPHR Saskatchewan board and staff, thank you for providing excellent leadership when it is needed most! 

CPHR Saskatchewan encourages you to get social and join the CPHR Saskatchewan LinkedIn Group to communicate with fellow members.

Nominations are open for the HR Professional Awards!  As we continue to elevate the human resources profession in Saskatchewan it is important to showcase outstanding human resource achievements and honour people who inspire exceptional people practices.

CPHR Saskatchewan will be cancelling the HR Forum on April 2, 2020 with no virtual alternative. Like many other local and national events, simply postponing the HR Forum is not possible as it is difficult to determine when it will be safe to schedule a large gathering. The HR Forum is an event that is hosted each spring to complement (not substitute) the annual Conference held in the fall. After the 2020 Conference in September, planning will begin to host the HR Forum in Regina in 2021. We look forward to seeing you at both events!

If you registered for this event you should have received an email from Charmaine Wintermute with cancellation and refund details. If you have not received this information, please email cwintermute@cphrsk.ca.

Speaker proposals are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis. If you are interested in speaking at the 2020 Conference, the 2021 HR Forum or a 2020/2021 professional development event, click here to review the Speaker Proposal Guidelines and submit an online application. All members are encouraged to share this information with potential HR speakers in their networking circles. Speaker proposals for the 2020 Conference will be reviewed and evaluated in mid-May 2020. Submitted proposals remain "open" for a period of two years. 

Join your fellow HR practitioners this fall for the 14th Annual CPHR Saskatchewan Conference, which will take place Sept. 29-30, 2020 in Saskatoon, Sask.  Keynote speakers will be announced in early April.

The National Knowledge Exam (NKE), administered by CPHR Canada, has not been cancelled or postponed. CPHR Canada is monitoring the situation carefully and is working closely with their exam vendor to determine contingency plans. With the exam still two months away, there is time to evaluate a number of options. At present, CPHR Saskatchewan is still accepting registrations for the May 29 NKE. The registration deadline remains March 30. The cancellation deadline (with full refund) remains March 30.

Should the NKE be postponed, we will notify registrants of the new date and provide options for those who are unable to write on the new date. As we know more, we will continue to update exam registrants.
