Canadian HR Reporter is the online version of Canada’s human resource management journal of the same name. All of the magazine’s content is available on the site, with three levels of access: free, members (requires a free registration, but a worthwhile process) and subscribers. The Canada-centric HR news headlines and most features are free to access, while a few of the more detailed features and forums require a member subscription. All you can eat access requires a subscription, which comes at CA$98 ($102) a pop.
The site covers areas featured in the magazine such as benefits, compensation, recruitment and staffing, HR strategies and training and development. Where browsers can gain free or members-only access, these areas of the site are ultimately the most useful for Australian HR professionals, with a wide range of interesting and practical articles on offer. Examples include a feature on the HR buzz words executives want retired most, and what CFOs think of industry experience when it comes to making hiring decisions. Throw in the odd Australian news article and content is well-rounded.
Given the considerable amount of content available, the search engine is a handy addition to the site. Navigation is clear and concise, while design follows suit. Overall, a worthwhile and practical resource.
