Ultimate HR Manual - Western Edition (BCHRMA)

A joint effort of British Columbia Human Resource Management Association (BC HRMA) and CCH – the content and strategy for this unique reference resource was determined by results of a survey to more then 5,000 members and associates of the BC HRMA.

The concept for the Ultimate HR Manual-Western Edition is based on the highly successful Ultimate HR Manual originally developed in partnership with the HRPAO.

We asked. You answered. So we went to work!

Who knows what should be in an HR manual better than your Human Resource Professional community? The facts on what you want as an HR Professional came out loud and clear in our survey results. You told us you don’t want loads of detail on legislation. And that you don’t want abstract theory or academic discussion. In short, you told us you don’t want the kind of HR resource that is already out there.

Instead, you told us you want practical, easy-to-find, easy-to-read answers and solutions to help you deal with the situations and issues that you face every day.

As a result, we listened to what you want and we’re going to give it to you.

Here are the 6 key benefits you’ll enjoy with the new Ultimate HR Manual – Western Edition.

Minimize your HR compliance concerns - Millions of dollars are paid out over compliance issues each year, which is why compliance is a key concern of every HR Manager. This is one concern you won’t have anymore because each month you’ll receive a monthly newsletter letting you know about relevant changes in both federal, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba legislation.

You’ll have all the forms, checklists and templates you’ll ever need - Having easy access to these work aids will save you immeasurable time, especially when you can customize and print them for your specific purpose.

You’ll be a more effective manager - You’ll have hundreds of “best practice” tips on productivity, motivation and other key bottom line areas. And you’ll be able to speak and act with even more authority in difficult and controversial situations because you’ll have proven expert opinion and advice to back you up.

You’ll be able to stay current without hours of tough reading - Staying up-to-date means slogging through baffling legalese or complicated legislation. But you don’t need to know the details of change. All you need to know is how your organization will be affected. And that’s what you’ll find out in the easy-to-read concise commentaries in the Ultimate HR Manual-Western Edition.

You’ll be able to trust and rely on the content - We’ve calle
