This fall, HR professionals from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia are being invited to participate in the Western Canada HR Trends Survey. This survey will result in the production of two reports: the Western Canada HR Trends Report and the Manitoba HR TrendsReport. These reports are tools for HR practitioners and departments in Manitoba to make informed decisions with reliable information on what is occurring in Manitoba’s workplace. Good labour market information can help human resources practitioners make better decisions in giving human resources advice to their stakeholders. We encourage you to watch for and complete this fall's HR Trends survey! Check your email and follow the survey link.
