We were excited to have CPHR Newfoundland & Labrador, CPHR Nova Scotia and CPHR PEI come together for the first meeting of the Atlantic Professional Development (PD) Committee, bringing HR leaders from across the region into a thoughtful and engaging discussion. The conversation touched on key issues HR professionals are navigating today, including workplace accommodation and mental health, as well as the practical and ethical use of AI in the workplace.    Thank you to committee members for the insight, collaboration, and strong start to this work.    #CPHRNS #ProfessionalDevelopment #HRLeaders #HRCommunit

The Black HR Professionals Summit was a powerful reminder that our work is more than policy and process: it’s people, truth, and community.   As Platinum Sponsors, CPHR Nova Scotia was honoured to be in the room, learning alongside so many brilliant HR leaders.   Key takeaways that will stay with us:   - Burnout boundaries are essential leadership tools, as emphasized by Tanya Sinclair, CHRE.   - Emotional labour continues to shape the lived experiences of Black HR professionals: naming it is the first step toward change.   - Storytelling in HR, championed by April Howe, MBA, CPHR, CCC, is transformative. Our stories hold power.   - Community building is the backbone of sustainable HR leadership.   Huge appreciation to Tanya Sinclair, CHRE, April Howe, MBA, CPHR, CCC, Morgan Bello, MIR, MBA,CHRP, Q.Med, Miriam S. and every participant who shared their truth. We rise higher when we rise together. #CPHRNS #BlackProfessionalsSummit #HRLeaders #HRCommunity

Our CPHR Difference Member Spotlight is with Sonya Merrick, CPHR, Human Resources Manager at Intact Insurance!    Sonya shared the following with us:   “Being a CPHR is meaningful to me because it represents a long-term commitment to practising HR with integrity, sound judgment, and strong professional standards. This month marks 22 years as a CPHR, along with many years of experience advising leaders across complex people and business priorities. I value the credibility the designation brings and the trust it helps build with leaders and employees, especially when navigating complex, high-impact decisions.    In my role, I partner strategically with business leaders to align people priorities with organizational goals. I focus on providing practical, thoughtful HR guidance across end-to-end people support, talent development, and change management, helping leaders build capability, strengthen teams, and deliver sustainable results through people. For me, being a CPHR reflects both pride in the profession and accountability for the impact HR has on individuals, culture, and performance.”    Look out for more Member Spotlights as we continue celebrating the CPHR community✨    #CPHR #CPHRMemberSpotlight #InternationalHRDay #HRCommunity #CPHRDifference
