BC HRMA 2013 AGM Report

I would like to give my thanks to our Board of Directors, volunteers, members and staff. Their energies and vision buoyed a year of celebration for BC HRMA—70 years as an association and 50 years of Conference—and carried us forward well. As is refl ected in this report, the voice, vision and viability of BC HRMA membership is testament to their collective and ongoing efforts. Bear in mind, those energies now extend beyond the borders of BC; a warm welcome to the Yukon as the eighth region of our association. While our work is ongoing, much has been accomplished. Efforts to evolve our government relations have opened doors of dialogue. The number of members holding or pursuing the CHRP designation continues to grow—as does the visibility of our profession. Online, the BC HRMA website has been fully redesigned and our communications efforts integrated . Moreover, we have introduced the BC HRMA Member Benefi ts Plan and BC HRMA Vision Plan to the benefi t of our members, their organizatons and families alike. In fi rm appreciation of the many minds required to make such progress possible, again, I thank you.

Mike Cass, CHRPPresident, BC HRMA

Simon Evans, CHRPCEO, BC HRMA

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

1

Once again, it has been my privilege and honour to serve this past year as your President. To work with such a great group of senior HR professionals on the Board of Directors, together with our members and association staff has been very gratifying for me. Our trends are showing very solid membership growth and this year we have the pleasure of our newest addition – the Yukon region has joined our association. Our association is growing! We are also seeing some changes on the Board of Directors. I wish to recognize Lewisa Anciano, Janice Antaya-Finlayson, and Dave DeLong as they are retiring from the Board after their years of service. Such service takes time and energy and their contributions have been well noted and very much appreciated. Going forward, we will welcome new faces and energies to the Board and continue to strive for excellence in the execution of all of our strategic endeavours. I want to say thanks to everyone on the Board for their guidance and assistance in my second and concluding year as President. I will continue to sit on the Board as Past President and want to thank all of you for allowing me to serve as both a Director and recently as your President. This has been a very rewarding time for me.

In addition, I want to convey my personal thanks to you, our members, for your continued support in making BC HRMA one of Canada’s leading associations.

The Board of Directors for BC HRMA establishes priorities for the association by regularly reviewing member data and performance on key metrics, as well as conducting environmental scans to ensure the membership offerings are relevant to the current economy. Raising the profi le of the human resources profession, the CHRP designation and the association continues to be a strategic priority for BC HRMA. The benefi ts of these efforts include increased enrolment and funding at post-secondary institutions. A number of these organizations report an increase in enrolment in HR-related programs of up to 25%. Additionally, it is felt that a greater awareness within the business community of the importance and value of human capital will lead to increased opportunities for membership and simply a healthier workplace.

Signifi cant gains have been achieved in marketing the value of HR during the past year. Media continue to reach out to the association for input from our membership on issues including Family Day. Government has asked for comment on suggested changes in policy and a number of employer associations have sought out BC HRMA to provide expertise and tools aimed at helping their members to manage their people.

Work with the Sauder School of Business to develop a Master’s Certifi cate in Human Resources was completed and the fi rst of six courses were launched in January 2012. Programming is designed for the senior-level business leader to support making the jump to an executive level. The second round of classes will commence in the Fall of 2013.

Finally, a variety of other initiatives designed to leverage technology to better serve the membership continue to be introduced. A new member database, fi rst time use of a mobile app during the 2013 conference and the increased use of webinars all help membership to access association services in faster and more convenient ways.

DELIVERING MEMBER VALUE

STUDENT DEVELOPMENTBC HRMA continues to expand its involvement with post-secondary institutions across BC and now the Yukon. The increasing awareness of the impact human resources has on an organization is refl ected by the expansion of HR programs at colleges and universities. BC HRMA currently has 830 student members and encourages the growth of the profession in a number of ways, including funding scholarships, bursaries and awards to students enrolled in the HR fi eld of study.

BC HRMA is currently involved with:

• British Columbia Institute of Technology• Capilano University• Camosun College• College of New Caledonia• Douglas College• Kwantlen Polytechnic University• Langara College• North Island College• University of British Columbia• University of British Columbia – Okanagan• University of the Fraser Valley

• University of Northern British Columbia• University of Victoria• Vancouver Island University• Okanagan College• Royal Roads University• Selkirk College• Simon Fraser University• Sprott-Shaw Community College • Thompson Rivers University• Yukon College

CHRP

The designation continues to grow in both awareness and uptake. The business community is increasingly recognizing the value of the CHRP as initiatives undertaken to raise the profi le of the designation take hold. Efforts such as radio campaigns, created and run by the association, featuring major BC employers have contributed to the increased recognition. This year, the association ran multi-week campaigns with a Vancouver radio station in February and April, complemented by print and digital placements in The Vancouver Sun.

This past year, 202 members joined the nearly 2,600 CHRPs in BC and the Yukon by successfully meeting the requirements for the designation. 2012/13 marked the introduction of the Experience Assessment which will replace the National Professional Practice Exam (NPPA). Nearly 90 CHRP candidates applied to have their experiences assessed by a panel of senior practitioners. This change allows for a more realistic assessment of candidates’ experience while aligning the steps toward certifi cation with the other HR associations in the country. The last set of NPPA exams was written in June 2013.

CCHRA

2012 was a year of fundamental changes to the ever-changing economy and the Human Resources profession. The Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations (CCHRA) has repositioned itself to lead and defi ne the future of HR in Canada rather than to simply react to the changes that continue to occur in the economy and within the HR profession.

To capitalize on the opportunities for forward-thinking in the HR profession, the CCHRA Board approved and implemented a new strategic plan that is targeted to carry the association through to 2015.Adhering to the targeted goals laid out in the strategic plan, CCHRA undertook a Professional Practice Analysis. Through this analysis, CCHRA identifi ed and validated their domains, tasks, knowledge and skill statements necessary to ensure that that their credentialing exams and processes were current, challenging and relative to today’s environment in producing tomorrow’s HR leaders.

CCHRA hired a new executive director, Sharon Lee, whose in-depth knowledge, experience and skillset will lead the CCHRA to achieve their strategic goals at this critical stage of CCHRA’s growth and maturity. Sharon immediately moved to enhance CCHRA’s current templates for the processes and procedures necessary to keep the Board focused on strategic initiatives and transparent decision-making. She has also enhanced the board structure to ensure a pipeline of talent and leadership.

HR METRICS SERVICE

The HR Metrics Service has established itself with a number of employers, associations and organizations and has been a valuable resource to comment on people management trends across Canada.

Noteworthy new partners for the year include the Saskatchewan Association of Human Resource Professionals. Through this alignment, nine new participants joined the program. Our relationship with Credit Union Central - Canada has helped to entrench the HR metrics discussion at the executive level and increased the number of participating credit unions to nearly 20.

In this past year, the association has added 45 new metrics that include fi gures around temporary/casual staff and collective agreement-related fi gures. As the program enters its fi fth year, longitudinal fi gures will be made available to participants allowing for deeper trend analysis.

Research Briefi ngs – academic summaries with implications for HR - remain a popular output of the association’s research group. Topics featured in the briefi ngs are aligned to themes identifi ed in the provincial learning needs assessment and also show linkages to our professional development programming. In response to member feedback, future briefi ngs will feature more emphasis on practical applications.

The research group continues to run and report on HR Trends in BC as well as publish case studies on BC-based best practices in HRVoice.org and PeopleTalk magazine.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESEARCH

BC HRMA’s learning and development is purposefully tailored for today’s HR practitioner. Our high-quality learning events address both foundational knowledge and hot topic areas enabling practitioners to directly impact their workplace.

The focus of 2012/2013 was to differentiate core programming and supplement our curriculum with judicious partnerships. Core programming — custom delivered by leading experts in the industry — are skill and knowledge building and address current trends and practices. Partner programming is outlined as accredited, intensive, multi-day or certifi cation course programs that supplement BC HRMA core programming, delivered by approved providers. As well, in response to the large number of inquiries received from academic institutions and organizations regarding the guaranteeing of CHRP credits, we formally launched an accreditation program. Furthermore, with the success of live webinars and on-demand learning offerings introduced last year, we have upgraded our delivery platform and plan to expand online education opportunities in the next couple of years.

We continue to provide timely CHRP exam preparation options such as in-person and online instruction along with study groups. We maintain support of career planning with meaningful resources such as the Career Path Tool and a comprehensive toolkit targeting immigrant talent.

The following results are from post-event professional development evaluations and highlight the responses to the statement of My expectations for this workshop/symposium/webinar were met:

PROFESSIONAL MENTORING PROGRAM

The Professional Mentoring Program saw a dramatic increase in the number of applicants and matches this past year. With more than 700 applicants – 400 mentees and 320 mentors – the regional mentoring committees were successful in making 334 matches. This was an increase of 30% over the 255 matches in 2012.

Applicants who were not matched were directed to other programs and services that better met their needs, including the Career Advancement Network Roundtables and the New Professionals Roundtables.

One of the key reasons for the success of BC HRMA’s Professional Mentoring Program is the investmentof time taken by regional volunteers to carefully review applications, match participants, orient, connectand support the mentee relationship throughout the year. Thank you to all the volunteers andparticipants who contribute to the success of this program.


11

ROUNDTABLES

Roundtables continue to serve a critical role in the networking and practice-sharing of our membership, as well as provide input to the needs assessment of the professional development program. By the end of the 2013 operating year, there were 39 distinct groups — three more than at the start of the year — meeting on a regular basis to share experiences, review case studies and interact with guest speakers. Groups meet because they share a functional area of expertise or a desired outcome while other groups are specifi c to a geographic area or level of practitioner.

Many existing roundtables continue to grow in popularity and value while new groups, such as the Yukon Roundtable, illustrate the importance and growth of human resources in organizations across the association’s geography. Also, the addition of a New Professionals Roundtable in the Fraser Valley has met with immediate success and expansion into other regions to better support this growing segment of our membership. The success of every roundtable hinges on the commitment of volunteers who generate discussion topics, facilitate and promote each gathering.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE & TRADESHOW

For two days at the beginning of May, 1,500 delegates, presenters and exhibitors convened at the Vancouver Convention Centre for the largest HR conference and tradeshow in Western Canada. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Inspire. Infl uence. Innovate. Imagine the difference.”

Registration rates continue to increase annually and this year 1,050 conference delegates came to hear some of the most stimulating and powerful voices in HR, business and leadership. The line up of more than 40 speakers included renowned leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith, behavioural economist Dan Airely, CBC Senior Business correspondent Amanda Lang and creativity guru Sir Ken Robinson. According to the conference survey, the plenary speaker line up was the highest rated ever (all ranging between 91% - 94%) and the conference maintained an 85% overall satisfaction rating.

In response to feedback, the conference planning committee was driven to offer increased interactive sessions enabling delegates to customize their individual conference objectives. The scope of topics covered was broad, time for personal refl ection was encouraged and alternate types of session formats were offered, including a cracker barrel discussion, speed networking opportunity and a presentation done in a World Cafe format. Other features this year included a conference app, increased social media and alternative services such as a graphic facilitator.

The tradeshow sold out with 90 exhibit booths. Open to the general public, more than 225 guests came to visit the free tradeshow.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

Media and Government Relationsin 2013, BC HRMA deepened its relationship with the provincial government, various provincial MLAs, and members of the opposition. In December, Shane Simpson, then chair of the NDP Caucus, had lunch with a number of senior association members at the BC HRMA offi ces. In early January, David Byng, the Deputy Minister responsible for economic development, small business, international trade, training and immigration, tourism, research and innovation, along with Trevor Hughes, the Assistant Deputy Minister Industrial Relations and Labour, made presentations to a receptive gathering. With the provincial election concluded, BC HRMA will resume its government outreach in the new fi scal year.

PeopleTalk Magazine and HRVoice.orgIt has been two years since PeopleTalk magazine was brought in house to be published by BC HRMA and integrated with the broader association advertising opportunities—and the results are all positive.

From an editorial perspective, the Advisory Committee continues to attract new member participants, ever broadening the pool of available expertise. Within BC HRMA, further progress has been made with the addition of regional content via the People and Perspectives feature.

The creation of an Upfront and Online section has also built a solid bridge between BC HRMA’s print and online communications. The editorial integration of PeopleTalk with the online HRVoice.org has also led to an easily accessible archive of previously print published materials — and is a strong draw for those seeking to contribute as it extends the knowledge life of each article indefi nitely.

A Contributors’ Page has also been added in the past year as a way of recognizing key contributors in each issue of the magazine.

PeopleTalk continues to cover all costs and generate a small profi t due, in part, to continued ‘bundle’ ad opportunities in print and online.

Email BlastsWith more than 13,000 members and subscribers, email blasts remain a popular advertising option. Providing a constant revenue stream for the association, they continue to be booked well in advance and are a popular part of our bundle packages with PeopleTalk and HRVoice.org.

The association continues to manage the amount of third-party advertising sent to members and provides anunsubscribe option for all email distribution lists.

Job PostingsOur job posting service continues to perform well despite an overall softening in the job market. Prices have been realigned to be more competitive. The job postings service continues to be popular with employers seeking access to highly qualifi ed HR practitioners as well as members seeking quality opportunities or just keeping an eye on the HR job market.


Corporate PartnershipsThis past year, BC HRMA forged relationships with a number of providers to offer goods and services to membership at discounted rates. These partnerships included Point Break Consulting for a member benefi ts plan (BC HRMA’s Employee Benefi ts Plan); Clearly Contacts for eyewear as well as vision plan options (BC HRMA’s Vision Plan); Dale Carnegie Training of BC®; and WorldatWork. The association worked with the Association for Cooperative Education, the umbrella group for all post-secondary institutions running co-op programs in BC and the Yukon, to promote the value of this service.

The association also created or renewed partnerships with the following organizations:

Corporate Social ResponsibilityBC HRMA continues to support the following organizations:

• WorkAble Solutions, ConnecTra and AbilitiesPlus are employment resources for persons with disabilities, employers, and HR professionals in British Columbia. • The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. A staff-supported initiative included raising funds via casual Fridays, and participation in the annual “Light the Night” fundraising walk. Altogether, staff and supporters raised $4,000 this past year. • Muscular Dystrophy Canada (Bridges to the Future program) is an organization committed to improving the quality of life for Canadians with neuromuscular disorders. This year the Coastal & Greater Vancouver Holiday Silent Auction & Artisan Market event raised $5,000 for this program. The Southern Interior region also raised $1,300 for Muscular Dystrophy (Okanagan Chapter) at their Jingle Mingle. • The Fraser Valley region raised $500 for the Langley Food Bank from their Holiday Mingle. • The Vancouver Island region raised $4,500 for the Camosun College BC HRMA Bursary at their HO HO HOliday Party and Silent Auction.

Positive feedback ensured this will be a valuable annual function. • The region celebrated the HR team from Kal Tire in Vernon being awarded the BC HRMA Award of Excellence for Innovation in Spring 2013, demonstrating the high level of HR expertise practiced in the BC interior. • The Southern Interior has experienced consistent strong attendances throughout the region at roundtables, workshops and mingles including a number of record attendances in several communities.
