“Winning the 2004 Hicks Morley Vision Award was an incredible honour for me. It was definitely the highlight of my career… The Vision Awards are a wonderful way to honour all the men and women who work tirelessly every day to make the work place a better place. We dedicate ourselves daily to providing high quality human resources services and strategic advice to many organizations… The Vision Awards is a great way to celebrate these contributions, recognize those tireless and sometimes thankless efforts and put the human resources professionals at the centre for one wonderful evening.”

“In 2005, our team was nominated for the Mercer Award for Innovative Design and Implementation of a Human Resources Program/Project. The nomination made our team proud, and we really appreciated the fact that our executives chose to recognize our contributions. The nomination package reminded us of the great work we had done. It was also fun to share the moment with our fellow HR colleagues, both internally and externally.”

- Lyne Garvey, Executive Director, Organizational Development, Employee Programs, Canadian Blood Services

“In 2004, I was the proud recipient of the Canadian Blood Services Award for Contribution to the Human Resources Profession. The process of being nominated and ultimately receiving the award was one of validation for me. I've always had an intrinsic desire to matter, to do things that somehow make the world I live in a little better. Being recognized, first by my peers, and then by the judging committee was the ultimate recognition and thank you for my efforts and dedication to the profession and to my community. I believe that the Vision Awards are a spectacular way for the Human Resources community to say "Congratulations and Great Job" to our peers.”

- Joanne Rousseau, Manager Human Resources, The Ottawa Citizen

"I was really surprised when I was asked to sign a nomination form in 1999 for the Nortel Networks Vision Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Human Resources Profession while employed by the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation. I really appreciated the support and recognition I received from my colleagues at work and within the profession. To this day, my Vision Award is proudly displayed in my office and I am always delighted to share with others, my positive experience with the Vision Awards. I was in great company in the award category for which I was nominated and was honoured to be selected by the Judging Panel. This reinforced my interest to continue volunteer work to this day in our profession.”

- André Latour, National Director, Staff Relations Program Officer, RCMP

“The Vision Awards are a top notch event. Nominees and award winners alike feel very special as a result of this professionally run event. It certainly is a morale booster and a reward for the hard and creative work completed.

Being a winner of the Mercer Vision Award was a wonderful and rewarding experience. On a professional level, winning this award provided enhanced exposure to our project both within our department and within the public service as a whole. This also paved the way for us to obtain support for other innovative projects and approaches. On a personal level, it was rewarding to be recognized for our team's innovative work.”
