Still 2020 😳 Amiright? Let’s face it, 2020 is turning out to be a doozy of a year. But great adversity inspires stories worth telling. 

As an HR professional, you are on the front lines of your organization working with real people who have real challenges everyday. We’re asking you to share your stories so that others might relate to, and learn from, your experiences. 

You have a story worth telling and we want to hear it.

July's Theme: 

How do you keep employees motivated as the mercury rises? Shoot a video and share your tips! 

We invite you to participate in the Conference Board of Canada’s Compensation Planning Outlook Survey—now live! All responses will remain confidential and will be reported in aggregate only.

• The pay environment
• Non-unionized and unionized pay increases
• Incentive pay and plans
• Labour market challenges

You will need a five-digit PIN to enter the survey. To sign-up to participate and access your PIN, please send an e-mail to compoutlook@conferenceboard.ca

HR volunteer opportunities exist with the Regina Public Library via Zoom. The library is looking for HR professionals to assist teens and adults with resume, cover letter, interview and other career-related questions online through Zoom. Weekly one-on-one resume and job coaching sessions are taking place every Tuesday (3:30-5:10 p.m., including two appointments, each 45 minutes). Volunteer opportunities also exist with group sessions (webinars) that can accommodate presenter’s schedules. Existing CPHR volunteers have done a fantastic job in guiding job seekers who are looking for their first job, a better job or are changing careers. The contribution from volunteers has had tremendous positive impact on our community.

Contact Tim at txie@reginalibrary.ca or call (306) 777-6013 for more information. 

CPHR Saskatchewan encourages its members to consider this volunteer opportunity and support the community with HR knowledge and expertise.
