• Nominee must be a current member in good standing. 
• Nominee must have held their membership for a minimum of three years at the time of nomination. 
• Preference is given to members who hold their CPHR designation or have CPHR Candidate status, but it is not required. 

• Nominee must have made a significant impact in the workplace, overcome a major challenge, or otherwise have an inspiring story to tell. 

HR Spotlight program is designed around highlighting CPHR BC & Yukon’s extraordinary members. The volunteer committee is looking for accomplishments and achievements that have occurred between January 2022 and the present, and will consider the following when reviewing the nominations:

• Professionalism and Character

• Innovation and Impact

• Measurable Success / Performance

• Leadership

• Agility and Resilience

• Intangibles

The HR Spotlight Committee, composed of active, senior-level CPHR BC & Yukon members in the HR community, will review each nomination and recommend selected nominees for the HR Spotlight honour.

The HR Spotlight program provides an opportunity to shine the spotlight on a select group of members who are doing exceptional things. By moving away from a traditional competition format with restrictive categories and one or two winners, the HR Spotlight will be an inclusive process, celebrating the extraordinary and diverse work that CPHR BC & Yukon members are doing across the region.

Unsuccessful nominations may be re-nominated in subsequent years, so long as the eligibility and other criteria are still met.

• Nominations must be submitted online.
• Confirmation that the nominee is a current member in good standing.

• Confirmation that the nominee has held their membership for a minimum of three years at the time of nomination.

• Completed nomination form, with consent from the nominee.
  • Description of how the nominee has made a significant impact in the workplace, overcame a challenge, or otherwise has an inspiring story to share. The achievements and impact detailed in the nomination should have occurred since January 2022 – not the nominee’s career history. Maximum 3,000 characters with spaces.
• Two supporting letters that speak to the accomplishment / challenge / innovation / story outlined in the nomination. Each letter should be no more than 500 words on a single page and must explain the relationship between the nominee and the person writing the letter. Supporters may be contacted to validate their written statements. As such, letters must include official letterhead, signature block, and/or contact details. Where possible, letters should include timeframes and dates, indicate what the supporter’s role was in relation to the accomplishment / challenge / innovation / story, focus on achievements since January 2022, and describe the impact from their own perspective. Please combine the two letters into one single PDF document to be uploaded.
  • One letter must be from the nominee’s direct supervisor or a senior leader within their organization (past or present) or client (past or present). 
  • One letter must be from the nominee’s colleague or professional peer; this individual is preferably a CPHR BC & Yukon member, but this is not a requirement. 

Successful nominees will be notified by the Awards Manager in early November 2024. 

If the nominee is selected as a recipient, they will be asked to submit high-resolution photos to be used as part of the HR Spotlight program and promotion. The recipient will also be invited to attend the CPHR BC & Yukon Member Recognition Event in early February 2025, in Vancouver, BC. (specific date and location TBA).  At the event, the recipient will share a 2-minute acceptance speech on stage. If attendance is not possible, the recipient will provide a high-resolution video recording of their acceptance speech that will be shown during the event and possibly shared online on CPHR BC & Yukon’s website and/or social media.
