The  first annual Alberta’s Best Workplaces Conference was a success!

For the past 6 years Alberta Venture has ranked and profiled Alberta’s best workplaces in our May issue. This year, in addition to our magazine feature, online content and signature awards reception, we will be producing a unique half day Best Workplaces conference. This conference will showcase the best practices and policies that leading HR managers have enacted in their companies for the education and discussion of an influential business audience.

For six years, Alberta Venture has recognized those Alberta-based companies leading the way in corporate culture and human resource development with the annual Alberta’s Best Workplaces program. The 2012 program is presented by Alberta Venture, the Human Resources Institute of Alberta, and Davies Park Executive Search Consulting.

A ‘best workplace’ company is one dedicated to building and sustaining a prosperous, forward-thinking organization that values its greatest asset – people. These leading organizations are able to attract and sustain quality employees in this high demand labour market.
