Northern Health’s (NH) Human Resources (HR) Planning and Analytics Team has been recognized with a prestigious provincial award for their outstanding contributions to HR and labour relations.
Presented by the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC), the Health care Employee Relations Awards of British Columbia celebrate professionals who help create workplaces that support high-quality health care. This year, the award for Leading Human Resource and/or Labour Relations Practices in the health authority category was awarded to NH’s Planning and Analytics Team.
The team was honoured for their innovative use of technology to tackle complex workforce questions. By developing tools that provide accessible, real-time data, they’ve helped streamline decision-making processes, reduce costs, and improve employee satisfaction across the organization.
In a short video produced by HEABC, the team’s work is showcased as a model of excellence in data-driven HR planning. Their efforts have not only made a difference in NH but have also caught the attention of other health authorities across the province.
Ben Laverdure, Human Resource Analyst, shared his excitement about the honour.
“It was amazing to be recognized and to hear how the work we’re doing is having meaningful impact in streamlining decision making for the organization, which ultimately means providing better care for people in the North. It was also incredible to hear from other health authorities at the event who were interested in our work and setting up similar resources for their organizations.”
Carri Hora, Regional Manager, HR Analytics, Rotations and Staffing Education, reflected on the team’s journey.
“Very proud that the team is recognized for the years of hard work that has gone into developing tools that assist the organization in decision making and planning. We have come a long way over the years and are now able to answer questions in real time, recognize trends, and strategically plan to address the workforce needs.”
Please join us in congratulating the Planning and Analytics Team on this well-deserved recognition. Their dedication and innovation continue to make a lasting impact on health care delivery in Northern BC.
