About the Program
For five 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.
Companies selected for the list will be featured in the cover story of Alberta Venture’s May 2012 issue and extensively covered online at albertaventure.com. They’ll also receive VIP invites to the Best Workplaces Conference in 2012.

This year, Alberta Venture is embarking on a dramatic expansion of our Alberta’s Best Workplaces program. 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.
This half-day conference, held in Edmonton in May 2012, will consist of a lunch keynote speaker, informative sessions, a “Conversation Café”, and a panel discussion with representatives from the 2011 Best Workplace Award winners.
Attendees will learn how to create a unique corporate culture and how to be a leader in employee development. Following the conference, the 2012 Alberta’s Best Workplaces Award winners will be announced at an exclusive awards reception.
Full event information will be released in January of 2012, please contact Amanda Bradley at 780-990-0839 ext. 244 or at events@albertaventure.com
