		<description><![CDATA[Who cares about human resources? Companies have bigger fish to fry right now: cash flow, lowering overhead, rebuilding sales. Right?

Wrong. If there’s one thing the response to our Alberta’s Best Workplaces program proves, it’s that employees still matter. Never mind that a significant number of past years’ participants chose not to apply last fall, perhaps fearful of a backlash for grandstanding during a year when there were widespread layoffs. New applicants stepped forward to take their places, such that we were very close to last year’s record of 75 submissions. Moreover, the content of those submissions indicates employers are trying as hard as ever to attract, retain and add value to their workers. <a href="http://albertaventure.com/2010/03/why-hr-still-matters/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
