Todd Humber, publisher of HR Law Canada, said the awards program was designed to shine a spotlight on those shaping the future of employment law and workplace fairness.
“Employment law is the backbone of a just and equitable workplace,” Humber said. “Through this program, we want to celebrate the professionals, law firms, and organizations that go above and beyond to create better outcomes for workers and employers. Their work often goes unnoticed, but it has a profound impact on millions of Canadians.”
