March 24, 2005 Aurora, ON. HR.com, the largest research and Web destination for HR Executives, today announced that they have formed a partnership with the Republic Careerbuilder to launch the Employers of Excellence Program.
This program provides scorecards and comparative data for companies committed to measuring the effectiveness of their Human Capital. Participating firms will be able to identify areas of excellence as well as areas in need of improvement via interactive scorecards that measure culture, diversity, leadership, employee engagement, HR practices and business performance; and share best practices, research and education.
Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, says, "A major media partner is critical to ensuring the success of our program. The Republic Careerbuilder is highly respected in Arizona and helps spread the word of the successes of local employers, who are demonstrating exemplary HR practices."
In addition, HR.com has partnered with the following partners who bring in-depth expertise in the Employer of Excellence program design:
Bernard Hodes Group - Recognized provider of world-class diversity training and resources
eePulse - Expert in measuring and optimizing employee energy levels in organizations
EMERGE International - Provider of comprehensive cultural assessment and improvement resources
Saratoga PwC - Leader in HR and workforce measurement and scorecarding
"To further reflect our commitment to the local market as well as the Employers of Excellence program, our annual event, formerly called the "Power of People Gala Event," will be rebranded and called "HR.com´s Employers of Excellence Conference 2005," says McGrath.
HR.com will also be announcing local media partners in an additional 7-12 major markets in the near future. Debbie McGrath is available for interviews upon requests. Interested parties can contact dimboden@hr.com.
